I got this info from the most complete article on the "catch-all" topic I had the chance to come across.

I think you might be interested in taking a look:

It won't fix it any more: take a look at this entry on connect.

It looks like Microsoft has announced that for SQL 2008 SP1...

I think this is a strategy issue rather than strictly technical.

I suggest you take a look at this

http://www.sqlskills.com/resources/Whitepapers/Partitioning%20in%20SQL%20Server%202005%20Beta%20II.htm

whitepaper from Kimberly Tripp, which focuses more on the strategies regarding filegroups...

Oh, I see. Well, I'm no partitioning expert, but I don't think you can partition tables "together", but you will have to partition each table on its own and then...

A subset of Visual Studio 2005 is bundled with SQLServer and tools are bundled with SQLServer. VB6 is not needed, unless you are planning to code with it, which I...

This one is also very interesting...

I use JTDS http://jtds.sourceforge.net with SQL2008 and I have no problem.

It's not designed or certified yet for SQL2008, but it works.

Hope this helps

I'm sorry I can't help you any further, 'cause I'm no AS400 expert, but I suggest you consider buying an OLEDB provider for this task.

I don't know all of them, but there are some small differences between "regular" SSMS and express. Nothing that will prevent you from doing your job, but some strange little...

ODBC has always been slow in our environment, so we had to buy a OLEDB provider, which is much faster.
