So far it hasn't appeared again and I hope...

the sa/god problem is one that most people are concerned about, but a sysadmin has to be trusted with access. Of course, you should also be fired/sued if you abuse...

IANAL - I am not a lawyer.
I searched out our security people and they said that the info sec policy that we agree to says that you do not have...

great advice above. One more I'd add - SQL Litespeed. Works great and has reduced our largest backup substantially in size and time. Went from 60G native to 9GB...

Don't use "select *", list out the columns you need. And only those columns.

sa might be mapped to a user. The login would be sa, the user something else.
