• Overall, this is a good article. One thing that I would like to see added is to set the recovery model to simple:

    ALTER DATABASE [ComicBooks] SET RECOVERY SIMPLE

    GO

    The default for SQL Server is Full recovery. If you don't do transaction log backups, then the tran log will keep growing. For a personal use database, probably not much of an issue, but for a small database for business use, this could turn into a big problem at a later date (I've seen this happen).
