Hi,
I have created a synonym to query an overseas database, which results in time out issues when joined with a table that I have in my local database. I've made sure I have as little information as possible to select, but it's still not possible to have an operational joined query without the timeout issues. I have also changed the timeout limit.
The solution I made was to download the data from the synonym and store it in a local table, which works fine. However, this data is updated every day.
I wanted to use agents to schedule a job to update the table at daily intervals, but agents don't ship with the Express Edition. Is there another way to Schedule tasks in the express edition or avenues I could explore?
Thank you very much in advance.
