Comment by Danny on "Data Migration/Extraction from Autodesk Vault"

Hi there, here are my answers to the questions:

1) Unfortunately our team didn't make use of family tables, so I'm unsure where it might be stored. One method I've used for something similar is to dump the entire DB to an SQL file and do a text search for a sample value that you're expecting and try to find which table/column it's located in

2) We filtered down the file counts to only include ipt, dwg and iam as we had as those were the only file types that were needed to migrate. There was a lot of other miscellaneous files (png, log, pdf) that weren't needed

3) The main use of the CTE was for us to determine the depth of the folders (which was needed by the destination system team and also aided in sorting) by counting the parent/child links. It could be done by counting the "/" character in the query but having the CTE didn't make a major performance difference: -6 seconds to execute with the CTE -3 seconds to execute without
