The view is defined when you use CREATE VIEW and anything you do in there will be in effect on any call. If the view is queried from either...

Is the application running on the SQL Server that is now 64 bit or are the application machine and the SQL Server machine separate machines?

You would have a Main() function that would be the one that gets started when the script runs.

You can either do that or define all your functions as you did...

You could do something like this:

select 'ALTER TABLE [' + OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id) + '] DROP CONSTRAINT [fk_'+ OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id)+'_'+OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id)+']'

from sys.foreign_keys

where name like 'fk_'+ OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id)+'_'+OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id)+'%'

The database version is a number stamped in the boot page of a database that indicates the SQL Server version of the most recent SQL Server instance the database was...

As has been said, you cannot restore a database backup from a later version to an earlier version period.

When you bring a database forward to a later version from an...

And to add on to that, if you do have a x64 environment and run it through SQL Agent, then the dtsexec will be x64 by default and you can...

And it may be worth creating a variable above and putting the ';' + text + ';%' together in the variable and then using it in a like.

I would recommend at least 8 GB of RAM, but would shoot for at least 12-16 if you can afford it. The other things are dependent on how heavy...
