I have 12 databases totaling roughly 1.0TB, each on a different physical server running SQL 2005 Enterprise - all with the same exact schema. I need to offload this data into a separate single database so that we can use for other purposes (reporting, web services, ect) with a maximum of 1 hour latency. It should also be noted that thes...

We have three developers and one tester all working against the same database. We change the schema of the database quite often, and every time we do it tends to have a ripple effect of headaches for everyone else.

We have an old SQL Server 2000 machine where a bunch of jobs run overnight. Occasionally, after server maintenance is performed and the machine is rebooted, some SQL components don't come up with the OS (even though they are configured to do so). So before our nightly jobs are supposed to run, I would like to (from a remote machine) run ...

SQL Server 2005 Standard 64x, with 300+ tiny databases currently (5MB each), user base adds databases as needed. Want to implement log shipping for warm standby, but not via the wizard, since that looks like it adds 3 jobs (1 on primary, 2 on secondary) for each log-shipped database. Do I try to write my own or use something like Quest...

I need to know how many records are in each table in a particular database. I don't care what is in the record, they will all need to be counted. I already know how to do this for a single table as SELECT Count(1) FROM [my_table_name], but this gets a little redundant for 200+ tables. ...
