Good reference locations for information

[Don Romano]

Just as an aside...

If you have a question or problem with SQL Server you might want to try three places before/in addition to listing questions here... only because it will be quicker for you rather than waiting for someone to post a response.

1) SQL Server Books OnLine (install on hard disk when you install SQL Server... full set of manuals and highly indexed)
2) http://www.microsoft.com/Support/ (you may need to register but it is free) (Use Support OnLine and look under SQL Server for specific support)
3) http://support.microsoft.com/support/default-faq.asp (FAQ)

Both can help with error numbers and #2 is especially good to find known bugs, fixes, work arounds, etc.

Hope this helps,

Don
