Last updated: 2 October 2026
Please read this disclaimer carefully before using anything published on DBA Scrolls (the "Site"). By using the Site you accept the terms set out below.
General Information Only
All content on this Site is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not professional advice, and it does not create any consultant-client, advisory, fiduciary, or employment relationship of any kind between you and the operator of this Site. Database administration involves decisions with real operational consequences; consult your own qualified professionals before acting.
Test Before You Execute
SQL Server behaviour varies significantly by version, edition, service pack, configuration, and data distribution. Scripts and techniques published here may not behave as described in your environment. You are solely responsible for:
- Reading and understanding every script before running it.
- Testing scripts in a non-production or isolated environment first.
- Taking verified backups before applying any change to a production system.
Never run a script you do not fully understand against a system you cannot afford to lose.
No Warranty
The content on this Site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. No representation is made that any script will achieve a particular result in your environment.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator of this Site shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, data corruption, loss of profits, business interruption, or service downtime, arising from your use of the Site or any content published on it — regardless of whether the damage was caused by reliance on published content, by scripts executed, by website downtime, or otherwise.
Errors and Corrections
The Site may contain technical inaccuracies, typos, or out-of-date information. Posts may be corrected or withdrawn at any time without notice. If you find an error, please report it via the contact page — corrections are genuinely welcome.
Third-Party Links and Recommendations
References to third-party tools, vendors, documentation, or community resources are provided for convenience and do not constitute an endorsement. The operator of this Site is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site or product.
Personal Responsibility
You are solely responsible for your own decisions regarding the use of any information on this Site, and for complying with your organisation's policies, change-management processes, and applicable laws.
External Links
Links to other websites are provided for reference. The operator does not control and is not responsible for the content of external sites.
Limitation of Updates
I aim to keep content accurate and current, but make no commitment to update, revise, or correct any content on any schedule. Content should be treated as a starting point for your own investigation, not as a final authority.
