    Probably because somewhere in the backup job there's code that switches the recovery model to simple and back to full. SQL won't just change the recovery model by itself. If...

  • RE: Any information on 70-433?

    Can you at least post the DDL for Request and Request type, including indexes, and the query in question?

  • RE: UPDATE STATISTICS - Is that required?
