    What is your recovery method on the database? If it's not simple, you need to also backup the transaction log.

  • RE: Return records at least 10 minutes apart from last valid record without CURSOR

    Check out LutzM's answer in this thread: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1067681-338-1.aspx

    AS

    WHERE 1=2

    BEGIN

    SELECT convert(NULL AS varchar(850)) AS column1

    END

    Select....

    It should return one row that could be as large as 850 characters.

    Well, only if your actual proc...
