FYI, I did not look at the spreadsheet data. When I attempted to view it, it required a log in of some sort.

I would strongly recommend sticking with "integer" as the type. Add a domain (or range_of_values) property to limit the size rather than a data type name. Remember,...

The main thing is:
Do not get bogged down futzing about with specific data types during the design process!
Those details are best left until later anyway.

Create another Attributes document that has additional info about each attribute, including its valid range of values. This will end up being one of the most valuable documents created during...

One thing someone said to me was that there cannot be two primary keys in a table. Is this true? if so, how can I adjust my data model...

My earlier comment on the model got lost (this site seems to do that sometimes with posts that go to a new page).
Overall I think you did an excellent job...

No, unfortunately you can't use WITH TRUNCATEONLY to free the space.
Fragmentation is possible from the SHRINK, so you'll have to check if any tables need rebuilt after you've shrunk the...

That should reclaim space from that table back to the database itself.
I think you'll still need to run SHRINKFILE to free the space the database itself back to the disk.

Does the system need to prevent duplicate responses to a Ticket? That would be complex to do at the very least.

You could just use the 1st for the day, which would mean it was still a valid date:
CONVERT(varchar(10), DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, Tab.date), 0), 120)

In terms of storage, CHAR(n) columns are always n characters long.
VARCHAR(n) columns are anything between 2...
