Ah, I've met David. "Fine" might not be the right word

Didn't know the plates stayed with the car. That's interesting.

In VA and CO, when you sell the car, you remove the plates immediately. They are yours. The new owner must...

Anders brings up a good point, and one I'm addressing now. What happens if Steve leaves (I'm not planning on it).

Also, in addition to Jeff and Jim, the index need not be clustered.

Are you sure the agent service is running? You can create jobs without it being started.

I'd agree with Joe, concerns would be sp_oacreate, not the driver. Drivers do flake, leak memory, etc., but in the past for me that's resulted in not being able to...

You need to specify the fields here from the first table and join in the second table for each value.

So

select

a.pkcol
