Recently we needed to refresh our test database and the synonyms in the test environment is different from the production environment. Instead of re-creating all the synonyms one-by-one, this task can be semi-automated.
Run the following code on the old production database

We ran into an issue at work where a SQL Server query was slow when the VM in which the SQL Server was running in had more than 1 vCore. I had posted the question on dba.se and was able to piece together an answer so I wanted to keep a record of that here [...]
Somewhat related to my previous post, I was now tasked with moving scheduled jobs from the old Microsoft SQL Server to a new Microsoft SQL Server. To do this, we generated a script within MS SQL Server Management Studio. I came up with a few issues while trying to run the scripts on the new [...]
