Like several people who have already replied, we should be 100% virtual by the end of the year, once the last couple of servers are replaced in a few months.

I would say that replication is great when it works, but when it breaks it's hell! If it was easier to fix it would probably be all you needed

Drat - burnt by the badly worded question, which didn't mention express edition

Better luck next time!

(1 row(s) affected)

i.e. one row was returned. OK, so it was a row containing XML, not data from the query, but it's still a row

I think I just got confused by the double negative aspect of the question -which statement is NOT true and the statement are full of Can and Cant - should...

Aaargh - I hate these trick questions! I want to learn things, not have to look out for tricks in the wording of the question! :rolleyes:

Yes! Just search for "SQL Server 2008 Build" in the main SSC Search box and you'll see both the 2008 and 2008 R2 listed

it would have been even better if instead of "executes" it had said "is invoked" or "is called" or something similar, since "executes" leaves us guessing...

Hi there, we have a report server where the data is replicated from our primary server. But I have spotted that both the MDF and LDF are on the same...

I agree - definitely more of a trick question. If you reverse the @DATE1 and @DATE2 in the BETWEEN query it actually makes quite an interesting question - will it...

So the correct answer is "it depends"
