I agree with Clive. Figure out what your transaction logs require every hour. You don't save space by running more frequent log backups, the same amount of log backup space...

Nothing you can do unless you have a backup. If you have logs, I'd save them off immediately. You might be able to replay some of the transactions, or at...

Rarely. And honestly here's the reason:

I can't afford for stuff to break.

Now with VMs, I'm probably out of excuses. In the past, I beta'd Windows 95 with it's 24 or...

I'm still not sure MS innovates. They enhance, they make things cheaper, more widely available, but they tend to make incremental improvements.

That's worked well to date, but now there's...

This is a great debate and thanks for all the comments. I wasn't trying to limit the discussion in anyway to technology as a solution. Banning could be locking machines...

Nah, We never had it before the upgrade and it's not obvious. I stumbled upon it myself 🙂

I think I've read that they use MySQL, but mostly their "search database" is designed for them as they piece together results from multiple servers, some of which are...

Either way it's gone.

Course it did have a happy ending. I had to explain to my director why I needed a new cell phone. He had me repeat it for...

William,

Those are good points and I tend to agree. It's why I haven't bothered with Silverlight and Popfly. I suspect they'll die out, but if I'm wrong, then I'll worry...

look up create database and the with attach_log_rebuild_log option to move just the MDF.

Are you backing up the log? What's the recovery mode? There are databases that have valid t-logs...

First, this is moved the the SSIS forum. You might get better responses there.

Second, you'd need to do some sort of merge operation in SSIS, looking up values based on...

Pagers can handle beer though! My old manager dropped my circa-1990 pager into a pitcher one day when he was tired of it going off. We let it dry off...

Very strange. Did you try to save it with a name like trades/mypackage?

Just below here, when you're replying, there's a section called "Post Options". I've attached a screen shot. This section stays open or closed, depending on how you last set it.

Congrats and that's very cool!
