Hi

Although fine, its all overally complex for a simple task. I can never understand why people use everything else (like SQL*DMO), vb-script, extended stored procs etc etc to do backups/report with either a maintenace plan or a simple t-sql script is more than enough. They are simple to read, quick to change (no recompiling etc) and doesnt require any special skills.

Even so, the article does give another viewpoint and just shows that there are hundreds of ways to script up routines for your DB managemebt.

Just my 2c worth.

Cheers
