Personally I wouldn't rely on sys.partitions to gauge whether a table is completely empty or not. Maybe just me. Just out of curiosity, what if a table load...

If it's not a system db, you can move db files by specifying a new location for the file, setting the db offline, physically moving the file(s), and finally setting...

No. But maybe you could create your own view with a similar name -- such as dbo.sysusers2 -- and change your code to use the view name?

I view it differently, since I prefer a code-based solution to a gui-based solution.

Here's the code you're not looking for 😉

/* drop empty "MyTable%" tables */

DECLARE @exec_sql bit

DECLARE @print_sql bit

DECLARE @sql nvarchar(4000)

DECLARE @table_has_row bit

DECLARE @table_name nvarchar(128)

SET @exec_sql = 0

SET @print_sql = 1

DECLARE cursor_tables...

Also, be aware that some plans are never cached at all, for example, a trivial plan to satisfy "select * from table_name".

Be aware that conversion of varchars to datetimes by style "120" is locale dependent.

On different server settings you may get different results:

SET DATEFORMAT DMY

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), CONVERT(datetime,CAST('2016-08-10 05:29:27' as datetime),112),...

You can use CONVERT to format 120 to do that:

select '='+senddate+'=' AS [original char format], convert(varchar(19), SendDate, 120) AS [yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss]

from (

select convert(nvarchar(4000), GETDATE(), 121) as...

I think you overstate the importance of the clustered index, especially in this case. Clustered index doesn't really matter too much here. The one you suggested will be...

I also don't see a need to split the entire string in this case, since you all want to extract is the CN= name.

You might need to do the "script out existing nonclustered indexes, create a new table with identical structure -- except with the clus index (only) in place, of course --...

The single most important performance factor for most tables is how they are clustered. You may add non-clustered indexes, typically covering indexes, but the best clustering is the big...
