    Databases are not 32 bit or 64 bit. There is no difference in the file structure or backup structure between the two. You can move databases from 32 bit to...

    If the database is in simple recovery, log records are truncated on checkpoint (which a backup runs).

  • RE: SQL Server 2008 R2 STD EDTN (228-09421) 32-bit OR 64-bit?

    Should do.

    With a 64-bit OS you can run either 32-bit or 64-bit SQL. Unless you have a really good reason to run the 32-bit version, don't run that.

    jimmy.liew - you can use ALTER DATABASE set ... command as a try to back the database Online again.

    Should? No. I'm saying that for the DB to have gone into recovery that's what would have been necessary. Can't offhand think of any other ways (short of someone running...

    This will allow you to view specific columns by name, or by data type along with their associated table name.
