Author CHECKING the TRANSACTION LOG
Tom Reis

2006-11-16, 7:12 pm

I am running SLQ 2000 SP4. I used to use the DBCC CHECKTABLE (syslogs) to
check the transaction log on a SQL 6.5 server. This doesn't work on a SQL
2000 Server. Is there a equivalent command or procedure. Thanks.

What is it in the transaction log that you want to check?

For 7.0 and 2000, DBCC CHECKDB and CHECKCATALOG covers integrity checks for a database.
For 2005, you don't need CHECKCATALOG.

Hi Tom

Because log files are separate physical files this command is redundant. If
you want to look at the space used in the log file try DBCC SQLPERF
(logspace) http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa258819(SQL.80).aspx.
For other database consistency checks DBCC CHECKDB, DBCC CHECKTABLE, DBCC
CHECKALLOC...
