If you look at the properties for a table, you'll get a list of the fields.

If you look at the properties for a database, there is a "size" and a...

Use R1/R10, not 5.

Go with a major vendor, stick to what they recommend with the server to eliminate driver issues.

Is it the same code?

I'd double check that you have the same key, maybe restore it again. Someone could have regenerated something. Or you might need to restore it each...

There's nothing magic about SQL clustering. It sits on...

If you go VMs, you then get into resource issues, potentially. You can't necessarily put 4 VMs on...

Show some code here, and we'll help you out. Seeing results doesn't help me figure out what you're doing wrong.

From my view, what I see and read,

1. support is the big one.

2. some performance improvement in the core db engine.

3. Compression is EE only. Need to factor that in....

I hadn't heard this before. I'd love to see someone write an article the shares more about this.

It sounds like a good idea, though.

I'd agree with Denny. Go for the dev edition.

You could uninstall, but I think you'd need to delete things (not dbs), but files, and clean the reg to get it...

If you know some VB, VB.NET is easier, but it's still a paradigm change.

I'd go take a couple short online classes for VB.NET and C#. Invest a few hours, see...
