comment SQL Server - Ignoring object dependencies to copy a DB (despite some column referenced in a sproc no longer existing)
I've found this to do wonders when someone starts screwing with DB schemas: amazon.com/Louisville-Slugger-MLB225YB-Baseball-29-Inch/dp/… Aim for the knees!

Ok, serious answer. You need to hire a consultant. Clearly you've got a massive project - something that no Q and A site in the world is going to fix. Recommend hiring someone really, really good.

Can you just create the missing columns on the other servers and leave them empty?

comment Write to Error Log
Agree with both of you. However, there's no client application to throw an exception back to, and the error tracking is handled by a different department, so my hands are tied... Thanks for the info.

Crap, I should post that link as the answer. "Because they flipped a coin."

Yeah, the first time I saw LINQ syntax, I was weirded out. Then I realized that putting FROM first makes more sense... allaboutcircuits.com/vol_1/chpt_1/7.html

comment Why are periodic restarts required to keep my instance performing well?
How many SPIDs are active during the slowness? Run sp_who2 and give the row count please.

Points for a thorough question, but have you considered that 16 GB of RAM just might not be enough for 1200 databases?

comment Deadlock on Insert/Update
That is what is occurring, but I'm not quite sure why. Both threads are operating on different rows, each using the ROWLOCK directive.

comment Deadlock on Insert/Update
@MarkStorey-Smith Apologies, but I cannot. The system is highly confidential, and has been reduced to a lame analogy for purposes of posting the question.

comment Deadlock on Insert/Update
In reply to @Jeff: 1- Testing starts with an empty table, and I see deadlocks almost instantly; 2- One row at a time; 3- The application keeps track of the player_id. If it was previously handled, update, otherwise insert.
