You've done a lot of what I'd suggest. I would look at the disk system, I wonder if you've got hardware issues.

The other thing I'd check is do you have...

I'd go with Matt's solution. Even if you change memory, you have to read in the initial data into the data cache, which is slow.

We've done this, created a...

Does the SQL user have rights to run the package? It has to be able to read it from MSDB.

If you execute that statement from your workstation, does it work?

Neither one. They will run differently. The first runs as 3 separate transactions, assuming you do not have implicit transactions changed. It could result in some data being inserted...

Jack is correct. There are two mail systems, SQL Mail, run by the SQL Server database engine, and SQL Agent Mail, run by SQL Agent. You need Database Mail set...

If I buy a painting, I don't have a license. I have the right to do what I wish with it, including destroy it. I can copy it if I...

I'm confused. You installed SQL express on your machine and how do you register other servers? I thought Management Studio didn't come with express.

In any case, Management Studio shouldn't be...

You are really doing parsing at this point, which isn't a strong point of T-SQL.

You can use charindex/patindex in the returned field (Cast to varchar) and then find the...

The DBMK will be encrypted with the SMK, but you can unencrypt it and back it up, then open it on the new server, or after the restore and encrypt...

Couple questions, are you inserting scalar, specific data? Is there a PK on the fields?

If there's a primary key, and there should be, then it won't insert. You could move...

Mirroring is at the database level, so you'd need the Database Master Key, not the Service Master.

It's cut off in the searches, and I agree. It's annoying. It is in the title of the browser if you open it and it's also in the forum view...

Search is so-so, but it's there for you to find things. We use Google search, so their hints will work here.

The "Active Threads" on the left menu shows you threads...

I agree with Gail and I might break these out to a few separate traces (object changes v access) to deal with the data.

Be sure you have a good...
