Comprehensive HTML Database Documentation(SS2K5)

This script has been on the SQL Server Central site for a while and has been revised a number of times. I enclose yet another revision that works with SQL Server 2005 (June CTP anyway) with much thanks to all those who have contributed to it in the past.Terry Grignon

Quick and Dirty Server/Instance information

I do a lot of SQL Server Desktop Edition instance testing and I cobbled together this script from BOL and other scripts I've seen posted.  It is intended to show version, service pack level, machine and instance name and the security type among other information.  Hopefully someone else may find it of use.

Question of the Day

Adding and Dropping Columns II

I have this table in my SQL Server 2022 database:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[CityList]
(
[CityNameID] [int] NOT NULL IDENTITY(1, 1),
[CityName] [varchar] (30) ,
[Country2] [char] (3),
[stateprovince2] [char] (2),
[Country] [char] (3),
[stateprovince] [char]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
I decide to drop the stateprovince2 and country2 columns. What code should I use?
