  • RE: Removing rows from sys.databases when physical file has already been removed

    You can't delete from the system tables. Besides, sys.databases isn't even a table.

    You shouldn't even be considering editing the system tables unless you're happy with potentially ending up with a...

    Sorry Gail. I didn't mean to mess up your name 🙁

    No worries, I get all sorts of misspellings/misidentifications here. Doesn't bother me any longer.

    I recommend you use ShrinkFile, not...

    If it's only updated once a day (so no need to worry about point-in-time restore) I wouldn't bother with log backups at all.
