  1. Fix The Problem, Don't Just Band-Aid It

  7. Restore Database WITH MOVE - A Review

    Until today, I did not know you could do this. This article explains a tip that might be new to some others like me. In Management Studio you can drag the Columns folder from Object Explorer into a query window and voila! You’ve got a nice comma delimited list ...
