• Like many others, I was tasked with supporting an application that ran on SQL server. At the time it was SQL Server Ver 6.5. The product was called Report Manager and it managed our reports that were streamed from the mainframe. Not many issues but ever so often a transaction got stuck open and then the transaction log would not truncate. Once I got into troubleshooting the database issues, I was hooked on product. Started building support applications on the tables in the Report Manager database and haven't looked back. It just seems that what ever data problem I face, with just the tools provided, I can attack and find a solution.
