MS Access: Permission problems with views

Generating the SQL query plan takes 5 minutes, the query itself runs in milliseconds. What's up?

I have a fairly complex (or ugly depending on how you look at it) stored procedure running on SQL Server 2008. It bases a lot of the logic on a view that has a pk table and a fk table. The fk table is left joined to the pk table slightly more than 30 times (the fk table has a poor design - it uses name value pairs that I need to flatte...

The new SSIS in SQL2005/SQL2008 are oversized

I studied the new MERGE Statement and there is a nice example for importing a flatfile. INSERT <Table> SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET BULK <Import-Flat-File>, <Format-File>... seems to be a good replacment for such a simple job and avoids to build a SSIS-Package. EXEC XP_CMDSHELL bcp <Table or View> out <Flat-File> ... is almost simpler ...

How do I remove duplicate SQL Server 2008 instances after upgrading from SQL Server 2005?

I've just upgraded an existing SQL Server 2005 to 2008 by running the installer (not the platform installer).
