--table must have at least 10000 rows, so that it doesn't get lost in NULLs.  I think.
DECLARE @table_name sysname, @date_column sysname, @sql NVARCHAR(4000), @lowest_date VARCHAR(20)
SET @table_name = 'mytablename'

-- mdb 2015/03/13 1.1 - added a query to the ring buffer's header to get # of events run, more comments
-- mdb 2015/03/13 1.2 - added model_end events, filtering on hostname, using TRACK_CAUSALITY, and multiple events
-- mdb 2015/03/18 1.3 - changed header parse to dynamic, courtesy of Mikael Eriksson on StackOverflow
-- This runs on at 2008++ (tested on 2008, 2008R2, 2012, and 2014). Because of that, no NOT LIKE exclusion

--mdb 2016/08/18 v1.10.  Added a few things to make it faster and not delete the entire table. And some docs!
--No idea where the idea to walk the table comes from (Bertrand? Strate?); the premise was that if you knew 
-- what you were currently deleting, and it was ordered, you could tell the optimizer to skip the part you've already deleted.
-- The overall delete for the top 5k from a CTE is from Simon Sabin & the SQLCat team.

--reminder, this runs on the central monitorING box, and uses xp_cmdshell and the like to connect to the "new" box.

 Event Notification - add server to monitoring.  Probably simpler to do by hand, but I like this.

 See http://thebakingdba.blogspot.com/ for more information, look for Event Notifications

 Given a parameter of servername, WHEN RUN ON THE EN "repository", it will 
	a) try to determine the servername for the "sender"

--For the repository server I only have one cert and one key.  
--For the new servers I have to create a new certificate and key for each one.

Purpose - using Event Notifications, determines which objects have changed (sub-database-level, for now).
Once list has been generated, repeatedly call a custom powershell script that will
	"get" and "checkout" the object from TFS if it exists, overwrite it with a current copy (scripted via SMO),
	then "checkin" the new object with a comment based on the loginname
