Recently I was asked if Microsoft Access is actually very powerful. It is! We have created systems that contained more than a million records in some of the tables-
SQL Server
Microsoft Access
Views in SQL Server vs. Queries in Microsoft Access: They are essentially the same thing!
SQL Server with Access
SQL Server can work seamlessly with Microsoft Access: SQL Server is the back end that contains tables and queries, while Access contains the forms and code.
SQL Server missing transaction logs
Is there there an easy way to determine if you are missing transaction logs for a SQL Server database?
Yes!
Try the following code:
SELECT D.[name] AS [db_name], D.[rec_model_desc]
FROM sys.databases D LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT BS.[db_name],
MAX(BS.[backup_finish_date]) AS [last_log_backup_date]
FROM msdb.dbo.backupset BS
WHERE BS.type = ‘L’
GROUP BY BS.[db_name]
) BS1 ON D.[name] = BS1.[db_name]
WHERE D.[rec_model_desc] <> ‘SIMPLE’
AND BS1.[last_log_backup_date] IS NULL
ORDER BY D.[name];
