SQL Server has great client side tools, Query Analyzer, Enterprise Manager, for working with your server and managing it. But how many times have you wished for a web interface because you didn't have VPN or didn't want to give rights to a developer. Or maybe you host clients' databases on your server and don't want one person to see another's databases. Read this review by someone who actually uses this product.

Question of the Day

Incremental Statistics

I have run this on SQL Server 2022 for the Sales database: 

ALTER DATABASE Sales SET AUTO_CREATE_STATISTICS ON (INCREMENTAL = ON)
I then run this in the Sales database: 
USE Sales
GO
CREATE STATISTICS CustomerStats1 ON dbo.Customer (CustomerKey, EmailAddress) WITH INCREMENTAL = OFF
The dbo.Customer table is partitioned. How are statistics created?
