RE: OT: Archiving not possible with SQL Server?

>>Guess what happens when a long running transaction marks
the log near the end, and not too long afterward the log needs truncated? If memory serves, ( hasn't worked too well lately :) the database
will hang. It may just truncate back to the mark, and start from there, but you always have the possibility of another long transaction starting.<<
