comment Missing or lost transaction and no errors to show what went wrong
The bug mentioned in that forum post is with the ExecuteNonquery which in this case is a Java component not a SQL Server component.

comment Missing or lost transaction and no errors to show what went wrong
If SQL Server returns a message that the command was completed then it was. That means that it was written to the transaction log. There are no internal timeouts that would cause it to rollback the two messages besides that. Even if the database had gone offline and come back online at that point SQL Server would still have the records in the transaction log. You'll need to read through all the log backups from the time of the insert to verify they were inserted until you find the deletion commands for those records. The functions fn_dblog and db_dump_dblog will read the log and backups.

comment Windows Server 2012 File name too long?
Backwards compatibility is a pain. If Server 2012 allowed it and a Windows XP machine connected to it the client wouldn't be able to use the folder name. And given that most Fortune 500 companies are still using Windows XP that sort of thing has to be taken into account.

comment How to merge data from 2 databases
Yep, I'm assuming SQL Server as it's tagged SQL Server and says SQL Server in the question.

That could be permissions. Are you a local admin on the server?

comment Vsphere VMware thin provisioning free space
I think we are going to need a lot more details about what steps you'll be taking and what kind of upgrade you are doing before a good solid answer can be given.

comment File locations for Full Text Catalogs using SQL Server 2005 on VMware
It's a standard rule of UAC that non-privileged accounts (anything but the local administrator account) can't create files in the root of hard drives.

comment Can't query one view from another?
Makes total sense. Have you looked at BizSpark from Microsoft? It's a program to get you all your Microsoft licenses for free for I believe 3 years. microsoft.com/bizspark/default.aspx Might make life easier.
