Re: persistence of sql server database in memory

+1 on using database / user permissions to secure access to data, that's exactly what its for - and why you (should) have a DBA to manage this stuff. On the persistence thing (which surprises me) I would look at both OS and rdbms cacheing. On 11-Nov-2017 2:32 AM, Stephen Russell wrote: Here is

Re: Hex

OTTOMH - If you are just inserting fields from other existing tables why get involved in converting stuff - why not just pick the fields up as is - e.g.: INSERT INTO TableNew  (PriKey, flda, fldb)    SELECT ForeignKey, fldx, fldb    FROM SomeView; or possibly: SELECT ForeignKey, fldx,
