There are four limitations or apparent bugs I have experienced in 2005
MS. Two I know are for real.

Two real limitations/bugs --

1. Can't edit table-valued function.
2. Can't get nulls to be missing (blank) in text output pane

Two more I just encountered, and am wondering about --

3. DB->All Tasks->Import Data->Load CSV file (exported from Excel) ->
garbled table as some rows end up being extra columns. The same
spreadsheets load okay from XLS format.

Table should have shape A, instead has shape B:

A B
|...| |...|
|...| |...|
|...| |......|
|...| |......|
|...| |...|
|...|
|...|

4. SET NOCOUNT OFF has no effect after SET NOCOUNT ON

Is there a way to work around these, or are they real bugs?
