    Cursors are tools. Use them where they work, don't use them where they don't. Statements like 'you should never use a <whatever>' are just shortsighted

  • RE: log for database is not availabe

    Error log please.

    What is the exact state of that database?

    Check sys.database_files, what log files does it have, are they all where they should be?

    Truncate table is a logged operation (there are no unlogged data modifications in SQL). It can be rolled back, it can be mirrored. It's technically even a fully-logged operation.

    That's not interesting (and shouldn't be in the SQL error log anyway)
