    fetch next from c1 into @dbname

    While @@fetch_status <> -1

    begin

    select @isql = 'ALTER DATABASE @dbname SET AUTO_CLOSE OFF'

    select @isql = replace(@isql,'@dbname',@dbname)

    print @isql

    exec(@isql)

    select @isql = 'ALTER DATABASE @dbname SET RECOVERY SIMPLE'

    select @isql = replace(@isql,'@dbname',@dbname)

    print @isql

    exec(@isql)

    select @isql='USE @dbname checkpoint'

    select @isql = replace(@isql,'@dbname',@dbname)

    print @isql
