  • RE: Transaction log shipping - database displaying (restoring...)

    Did you run just that? There's no '60' in that command that the incorrect syntax error refers to.

    RESTORE DATABASE < Dagtabase Name > WITH RECOVERY

    Be aware, once you've done that the only way to restart log shipping is to start by restoring the full backup again.

    You don't. For log shipping to run, the secondary database must be either RECOVERING or STANDBY. If the database is brought online further log backups cannot be restored.

  • RE: How to trace who run SQL command "delete" on specific dbase?

    Hey Grant.

    I completely disagree with your choice of disk counter. Just so you know. 😉

    I like using the telephone directory to explain indexes. Most people know what one looks like, make the explanations much easier.

    Good webcast by Gail, hope she would put Q&A on her blog. 🙂

    I've asked if that's allowed. If it is, I will. Doubt it'll be this week.

  • RE: generate column list

    Expand out object explorer, click in 'Columns' of the table, drag that to the query window.
