  • RE: Database in Principal, Synchronized/ In Recovery

    No, they can't.

  • RE: Clear cache after big job?

    Boris Pazin (8/17/2013)


    Biggest table has about 76 millions of rows. So, I guess deleting and re-creating 76M of rows could be harmful for all queries which use that table?

  • RE: Remove item in sysobjects because it is no longer in database

    I can't see how snapshot backups could cause the error message reported by the OP.

    Check that there isn't some snapshot backup tool running against your databases. BackupExec, DPM or something like that.
