  • RE: I am not able to connect to SSMS in one of my prod server.

    There's no good reason to install client tools on a server at all. Connect to the server from your workstation, put the client tools on the workstation, not the server.

    Shrinked log file using DBCC SHRINKFILE.

    checked VLFs, now only 4.

    Set auto-growth to 5gb.

    backed up log file, it is only...

  • RE: Restore Transaction Log after Database has been Restored

    rew-370421 (6/25/2010)


    SQL log shipping is not an option available to me. So I have to do this myself.

    Why is log shipping not an option?

    You'd need to restore the full backup...

    You'd need to restore the full backup either WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY in order to restore further transaction logs. The logs will need to be restored with the same...

    mark.dba (6/25/2010)


    It just seems like very inefficient way to do this.
