Do you mean we shud have a generic backup job that takes tran log backup for all databases(even for newly created ones)? in this case i dont think i...

You can use a CTE or a derived table - here is an example using a CTE.

;WITH myCTE (field1, field2, field3, ...)

AS (SELECT {complicated sql...}

Dejanette,

I am sure you would help if you could. My problem is with applying SP 3 to a multi-instance x64 server running SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition.

Is that procedure the only procedure doing any inserts? Can you confirm that the inserts that you see that are blocked are all related to this procedure?

If so, that...
