comment SELECT COL_NAME(969262708, ORDINAL_POSITION) returns a NULL value in one of the rows
@mattedgod SQLFiddle won't show anything here. It's data related.

You can use SSIS to pump data between the two servers, assuming they can see each other

comment Extract part of string based on nth instance of character
There's something wrong (minor) with the answer - running it verbatim returns Wednesday etc for s.rn=6, not ServerA etc as the result shows.

comment Is this table in 3NF?
@Mike Perhaps in the purest sense with just these 5 fields you may be right. I had half-assumed there were other attributes or perhaps in future more would be added to each distinct entity. City would have its own GPS location and mayor_id, State would have boundary (geo-polygon) etc. The transitive dependency then becomes clearer -> person (id) is related to country only by way of state and state through city. Transitive dependencies lead to redundant data hence the point of normalisation. If person is tie-broken using id, why doesn't it also apply to city_id?

comment update statement with self join
Perhaps to be unambiguous, you'll need to prepend the LHS of the SET clause, e.g. SET a1.col1=a2.col1, a1.col2=a2.col2,... following the syntax in example 3 in the manual

comment Which version of SQL Server server does a small business run for 2012
If you're pricing that for an 8-core or 2-processor x 4 -core, then the price is about right. Each 2 cores will require a license pack (which only come in 2-core packs). Rough prices are at the level you state. Having said that if you're a "medium company", you can get by with a quad-core or even dual-core box for your sharepoint needs.
