  • RE: To view Trans Log files of a DB

    Why? What problem are you trying to solve here?

    All data modifications are logged in the transaction log, but it is not intended as an audit log, it's not easily readable.

  • RE: Database Marked as 'In Recovery'

    No, it's not corrupt.

    Quite likely you have a very large number of VLFs, which results in slow restart-recovery of the database.
