  • RE: Creating multiple copies of a database.

    Detach can get messy, esp. with the file security changes that occur.

    I'd just restore the backup 20 times. You could bundle the entire process into a master job and...

    You'll want to explicitly state the FILLFACTOR and the filegroup, at least, rather than accept whatever the defaults happen to be:

  • RE: Cross Apply error

    I think you can do it by running from master and explicitly specifying the actual db name in the query:

    use master

    select *

    FROM your_db_name.dbo.Registos r

    CROSS APPLY your_db_name.dbo.fnObtemCategoriaAviacao(r.PaisOrigem, r.PaisDestino)
