  • RE: Database Maintenance Plan fails at SSB Check

  • RE: runnig Log Shopping, but want to shrink that database without braking log shipping

    Shrinking a database does not break the log chain, ever. There is no option to ShrinkFile or ShrinkDatabase that will break the log chain and hence log shipping.
