Deleted "old" transaction logs = (no items) in EM. How to recover?

A mistake was made and "old" transaction logs (and old backups) were
deleted. It appears that a long living transaction was living in one of
those logs. Now the EP shows (no items). The DBs themselves are still
functioning OK, just the EP shell that's not working.

What's the proper resolution?

Thank you in advance,

FBCK

Just wondering if you could help me on this one. I'm not sure if my transaction logs are behaving oddly or what. I've successfuly managed to shrink my transaction logs from 7GB down to 1MB and now I find it strange that the log file doesn't seem to increase its size. The timestamp of the logfile is updating as well. But the size of the file is constant. I haven't configured my database to do auto-shrink so Im really confused why it hasn't...

I recently performed an SQL server 2000 installation. Other than placing the program files on C: and data on D:, I saw no option to install transaction logs in an alternate location. What is the best practice with SQL server 2000 for location of transaction logs? I remember that Microsoft used to take the position that transaction logs should be placed on their own FAT partition.

Coming from a (mostly) Oracle shop, I am unclear how SS transaction logs work as far as up to point of failure recovery goes. I have the few MSSQL databases I look after in full recovery mode, and I set up maintenance plans to back these up online on a daily basis. In the research I did it was recommended backing up the transaction logs as well on a frequent basis to ensure recovery to POF or point in time. I had assumed that they work...

Hi, I know just about nothing about SQL Server. I am getting this error: The log file for database 'my_database' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space. I can't access the transaction logs to back them up. I am told that my ISP's tech support should have it set up to shrink those logs automatically every so often. Is that true?

In MS SQL 2005 when you do a Full Backup does it also backup and truncate the transaction logs or do I need to back the transaction logs up separately? Thanks. Brian

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
