Huh? I don't see anywhere a "datetime" data type is specified, only varchar. I don't see why the code couldn't run fine as is.

I guess...

What you really need is someone that has experience doing it, period. This is not something that you can just "wing it".

If you have to do it with no...

No, you should not have to; the db engine takes care of that itself.

From Books Online:

"

If the value inserted is larger than the current identity value for the table, SQL...

INSERT INTO dbo.T1 ( ... )

SELECT t2.col1, t2.col2, ...

FROM dbo.T2 t2

LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.T1 t1 ON

t1.Name = t2.Name

The first is a datetime2 format, the second is a datetime format.

Try CASTing to datetime2 first, then CASTing that to datetime.

CAST(CAST(column_name AS datetime2) AS datetime)

SELECT *

FROM <db_name>.sys.database_files

WHERE

type_desc <> 'LOG'

For that, I would use a function with PATINDEX to retain only the desired chars.

If performance is not an issue, you can use a scalar function.

I can give you a...

Better yet, forget the dopey "cluster first by identity" and cluster the table the best way: that is THE most important thing for performance.

Based on what you've posted, it seems...

As Lowell states, they're not really orphaned.

Extended properties that aren't explicitly subordinated to a db object apply to the db itself.

That is, if you add extended properties w/o specifying a...

All I can see from what you've posted so far is the check for:

activeclient > 0

in the subquery (patient count) but not in the outer query (attendance count).

It seems possible...

The "sqlcmd" utility does recognize "GO", as well as many other things, including invoking OS cmds.

I think you should be able to use "sqlcmd" to run the scripts.

AD Groups as SQL Logins and Database Users work great unless you need the User to have a default schema. In SQL 2012 the loop has been...

Yes, I would change the specific SQL user login to match the person's name, if all/part of the name itself is being used as part of the login.
