Hello All,

I want to setup a staging database to store a 13 month rolling period. The database will be retrieved from our data warehouse environment. Please help me out with the below questions:

- Should I have a different SQL Server instance for the staging databases, if yes? Why?
- What would be the best way to retrieved incremental data, after the initial full load, if the source table does not have any unique identifier(s)?
- How often should the staging database retrieve database from the source (data warehouse)?

Thanks.
