Kan jag få SQL Server att anropa en lagrad proc var n:e sekund?

Använd en timer och aktivering . Ingen extern process, fortsätter att fungera efter ett klustrings- eller speglingsfel, fortsätter att fungera även efter en återställning på en annan dator, och det fungerar även på Express.

-- create a table to store the results of some dummy procedure
create table Activity (
    InvokeTime datetime not null default getdate()
    , data float not null);

    insert into Activity (data) values (rand());
end
