Being undecided is good. At least I think so. Our legal system (should) function like that in court, I'm giving all candidates another week to do/say something that I can...

I have read through both entries and I do not believe this is plagiarism. Plagiarism ( http://www.plagiarism.org/) is copying without giving credit to the source, essentially passing off ideas as...

A spike for 4-5 minutes, while unusual, isn't necessarily a problem. You might have had a load that coincided with other loads. Were any queries running unusually long or a...

Yep, would prefer pay for service, give us more time, reasonable prices.

We don't get 10 years, we get 7, then pay for support (beyond security patches). Not that security isn't...

Guess I'm better as "Shaq Nicholson"

If you are doing single lookups, meaning if I pick X, I get these choices for X, as opposed to getting less choices for x because I selected "y" earlier,...

In the past, I've typically done a "drop table", "create table" to handle things like this. The wizard is designed for the basics. If you need this to work more...

refresh?

If the service is running (is this the same instance), it should be there. Try running a job and see if it works.

Don't think so, but perhaps there's a workaround. You could potentially have all reports run the same query to get "variables" from a table. Something like

create table ReportVars

( vartype varchar(10)

...

not that I know of. It's a type of "forward compatability", translating things so that they work on a 2000 type system. Not intended to emulate 2000 completely.

What does the code do? Perhaps we have another solution.

Watch disk space if you have these regularly scheduled.

What's the problem you're solving? Drill down could be a lot. What is the data and how is it used/queried?

Personally, if a person is referring to books then I'm very impressed. I've worked with too many people who were convinced they knew everything they needed and refused to pick...

Could these disks be very slow as well? Or slower?
