Using TRUNCATE_ONLY in SQL Server 2008

After upgrading to SQL Server 2008 from 2005, I got an error with one of my scripts. I am using Sql 2008 SqlExpress 10GB.

This is my T-SQL

BACKUP LOG “pathtomylogfile” WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY;

And I get this error:
Msg 155, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
‘TRUNCATE_ONLY’ is not a recognized BACKUP option.


So I asked myself if there is an option similar to what ‘TRUNCATE_ONLY’ was doing in 2005?
I posted a query at Ask Sql Server Central

I got very nice responses, including a link to this article by Brent Ozar


Check out the responses above, hope it helps you if you are upgrading to Sql Server 2008.

Google Instant

Google Instant is a new search enhancement that shows results as you type. We are pushing the limits of our technology and infrastructure to help you get better search results, faster. Our key technical insight was that people type slowly, but read quickly, typically taking 300 milliseconds between keystrokes, but only 30 milliseconds (a tenth of the time!) to glance at another part of the page. This means that you can scan a results page while you type.

Got DropBox yet?

Have you heard of DropBox yet? Don’t hesitate to check it out if you haven’t. You sync all of your computers via the Dropbox servers, their basic free service gives you 2Gigs of space and works cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux)
It works by behaving like a folder under version control that automatically syncs any time something new is added or modified. It takes care of merging and conflicts without ever bothering you (in case of conflicts, it just shows both files and renames one of them appropriately).
