    is there a way to tell how many logs is sql server standby behind on?

    thanks

    It is very tricky one for me . I have tried different combination finally did something which could of some use for you. I am not sure that this is a good way of identifying it but you can definitely get some inputs about the last log which is applied on the secondary server.

    run this script on standby server

    select max(backup_set_id) from msdb..restorehistory where destination_database_name ='sachin1'

    run this script on primary server

    select backup_start_date,backup_finish_date,type,database_name

    from msdb..backupset

    where backup_set_id =<the result of first script>

    😎 may be it could help you...

  • I am not sure how is this useful.. may be I am missing something. I get a result of 5001 from first query. When I use that in second query it returns with a name of database that has nothing to do with the log shipping. what am I missing?
