PRB: SQL Admin Cannot Display History for Scheduled Dumps

ID: Q114662

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server version 4.2x

SYMPTOMS

Viewing the history of database dumps using SQL Administrator can hang if too many rows are found. The only way to recover is by ending the task through the Task Manager.

WORKAROUND

Remove old entries from the table by issuing the following command:


   delete
   from master..MSscheduled_backups_log
   where Actual_start_time < '05/09/94'

The command will remove any backup history from before May 9, 1994.

MORE INFORMATION

Using SQL Administrator, you can monitor scheduled backups by selecting the options Manage-Backup\Restore-Scheduled Backups and Manage-History.

If too many rows are returned, SQL Administrator will not be able to display the result, and becomes unavailable for other transactions. On Windows NT, you can use the Task Manager and click End Task to end the infinite task.
