I just want to get ride of the second file. Is it safe to delete it? SQL Server allow me to do it from DATABASE PROPERTIES WINDOW, but I want to make sure that it is safe to drop it.

Eight drives are for storage and the other eight for mirroring. All eight drives is one RAID 10 and within that RAID 10 we partition the drives into 8 drives (please seee below) we are having so much slow performance on the application are we storing sql data files correctly on the SAN?

Drives on SQL Server:

C = OS X = SQL Database Files (MDF) Y = File Storage F = SQL Backups D = 500GB Database, SQL Server System Databases I = 500GB DB Indexes L = SQL Log Files T = SQL Log Files

Can u get me the answer  to this question

Management wants the backups to be done daily. Transaction log backups must be

every afternoon and morning and that you should keep in mind that the content of the log will get

larger and larger. You also need to take measure to do the log file.

What should I do?

A. You should consider cutting the number of time between transaction log backups for the

database.

B. You should consider cutting the SQL sentences in order to make the smallest value for the

database.

C. You should consider setting the database to use the simple recovery model for the database.

D. You should consider cutting the DBCC SHRINKFILE towards the transaction log file for the

database.

 

  

pls let me know the answer and get the resourse from where i could get

the detailted knowledge abt the topic.As m new .

Thnx.

The job, to truncate the log files, doesn’t start on time, and the transaction fills up preventing users from logging in. I would like to monitor the log such that I can send an alert when the log reaches e.g. 80% full.

Would that break the log chain? It seems the log shipping breaks after we do that.

I detach the database and I am unable to reattach it because of the error. I created a new database and copied the MDF. When I restarted the SQL Server, I am told the database is suspect.

What can I do to fix this error?

I am currently studying for the 70-432 (MCTS SQL Server 2008 I&M) exam and I am using Microsoft 70-432 Training Kit by Mike Hotek. At some point the book claims “when a database is placed in READ_ONLY mode, SQL SERVER removes any transaction log that is specified for the database. Changing the database from READ_ONLY to READ_WRITE causes SQLServer to re-create the transaction log file”.
Well, I have marked a database as read only and changed it back to read write but the transaction file never disappears? Am I doing something wrong, am I not understanding what the book is trying to say or the book is wrong?
Thank you…

We think the only way to do this is to use SQL Server log files. However, we are not sure that the tools available, which are seemingly oriented towards database backup/recovery operations, are what we would need. Are there tools available that would work towards what we would like to do?
