How about doing it a little differently and instead of:

where  @Period < (select LEFT(CONVERT(varchar(6),DATEADD(yyyy,-5, getdate()),112),6))

I'd also like to point out that you should be careful with transactions that change large amounts of data OR are long running - if a query runs for 5...

Glad that wasn't a dumb question. I know with SSMS I've hit snags when my SSMS version doesn't match the SSIS version and it will happily push the dtsx to...

I half-second Perry Whittle's suggestion. I personally don't like maintenance plans as they don't scale well. You spin up a new instance, you have to re-deploy the maintenance plan. Change...

I have not used replication before, but quick google brought me to this:

So, I think it depends on where the latency is. Is it between publisher and distributor or distributor...

Thanks a bunch Jo!
