What pietlinden noted is what I've done. What you are really doing here is auditing, so a trigger works well. From here, what you then do is replicate for some...

I'd like to think this is how most organizations think, but I'm amazed at the number of high profile incidents blamed on a low level worker. That doesn't typically happen,...

String Split would be easy. Add an optional parameter that adds an "order" column. I'm not sure why they won't do this one.

For SSMS, lots of ergonomic things would help,...

I'm definitely closer to Glenn, and I'm actually a bit excited. I ordered a Tesla recently, and I'm looking forward to the car.

I haven't used a key to get in...

I tend to agree with Jeffrey. While the separate volumes might not give performance improvement, they certainly make it easier to grow/move/change if you separate instances at some point.

It is a seek operation. A query could potentially seek multiple times for different reasons, like the complexity, row lookups, etc.

You can pick profile in the upper right, then on the side bar, edit profile. You can go down and change the email, but not the user name.

Gail is still around, but less on technical sites. Life has taken a turn for her, and we chat at times, but mostly she's less engaged in this space. She...

I like the Dog Mode having a big sign on the display and the temp setting. We'd certainly use that with our pups.

I'm torn with a lot of the electronic...

The framing is the size of the window. The default is range. This is separate from the partitioning, which you can choose. Without an ORDER BY and without a framing,...

I tend to agree, though I think at times it's not bad.

It is, however, not sustainable for a healthy lifestyle and highly productive work for the vast majority of people.

That last sentence is often the key. The "don't realize this" is the issue.

The architect of SQL Server overall would say what Jeffrey said. The rows are all inserted at...

This is one of those tough design decisions. I might say that until the transaction completes, the row isn't inserted. It shouldn't be visible, though I know you can get...

Always Encrypted is different than TDE. If you are using ALways Encrypted, the keys are in sys.column_encryption_keys and sys.column_master_keys.

There is a default range regardless of the order by. However, an ORDER BY is required to have rows/range applied.

I've amended the question to note there is an ORDER BY.
