Trying to write a formula that will give me in the cell:
strStepValue = "'" & !PT_COLOR.Value & "'"
PT_COLOR will come from cell C5, so my formula is:

but that gives me strStepValue = & !CA_SOL_DISP.Value & "'" in the cell

I have SQL Server Management Studio 20.1.10.0 and most of what I do I can manage (pun intended). When I run CREATE TABLE everything seams to be OK, and when I right-click on my new table and do “Select top 1000 Rows”, the basic Select SQL shows up and works just fine, but – all fields and the...

I can place a text in the Body of the email just fine, but that wipes out the signature.

I have this huge data base (1669 Tables) that I am trying to 'analyze' and one of the 'checks' is: how many PK-FK Relations do I have between the tables?

New to SQL Server, so I would ask the experts.
I see a lot of tables with fields defined as nvarchar(MAX) (up to 2GB of data?) or datetime2(7) (all the way to a millisecond), etc. I like to use a ‘lean-mean’ approach to defining data types in my tables, so if my data will not (should not) exceed...
