comment Executing sys.dm_fts_parser without sysadmin server role
The answer really came from a Stack Overflow user. The whole topic was deleted on SO because both the question and answer were copied to MSDN (apparently some user not the original answerer was gaming both sites) and SO didn't want to have any copyright issues. I'll see if I can find a way to reach the original SO answerer. Thank you for your help and I appreciate the advice to use a separate DB to minimize the security exposure.

comment Executing sys.dm_fts_parser without sysadmin server role
I tried it (by literally executing every step) but it did not work for me. Can you see any details left out of any step that DBA would just fill in but a non-DBA might miss? On a separate note, your blog on logins vs. users was very useful to me.

There's another approach discussed on MSDN. Unfortunately I could not get that to work. Would you mind having a look and sharing whether you think it should work in principal? social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/transactsql/thread/…

comment Save Results as CSV *with* headers in SSMS
If that were strictly true, it should not have any export option at all. For any software, if you add a feature, make it work right. At least SSMS 2008R2 fails that test when it comes to exporting. Additionally, SSMS actually can satisfy the OP's need.

comment Scripting a Backup Process and Backup File Ownership
@SqlRyan: Added the script and source to a short C# program that does the S3 upload. If you find a functional, command-line S3 client for Windows please let me know. s3.codeplex.com crashed when I ran it, and it is no longer maintained.

comment SQL Server VARCHAR Column Width
@marc_s: Can the entire column not be indexed, or will an index on the column only consider the first 900 bytes? I know MySQL allows indices on the first N-bytes of a column but not sure how SQL Server works.

comment overstating field size in database design
If the 100MB causes 20% less data to fit in a 512MB disk controller cache, it will absolutely matter (voice of experience).

comment Is there any point in undersizing VARCHAR columns?
UTF-8 will generally use one byte for one character for western languages. It's multi-byte in the sense that it allows for multi-byte "escape" sequences to represent non-Western characters.
