  • RE: What happens to Transaction Log chain if a backup fails?

    I understand your problem, but your clients really should do the following:

    1) Back up SQL Server locally

    2) Back up the SQL Backup location to another drive (network drive, tape drive,...

  • RE: concatenating smallint and bit into a select

    Just an FYI, trying to concat anything numerical tends to add it, not to concat it. So you will always need to convert numbers to strings before concateonating to make...

  • RE: Looping in SQL Server 2008

    What you posted, and the title of your post, are two different things. I don't think you need to loop at all.
