Setting up a database maintenance plan
The best way to control the growth of transaction logs is to simply back them up, once
a day at the very least. SQL 2000 makes it very easy to set up a database maintenance
schedule. Before you begin implementing a database maintenance plan using the SQL
2000 Database Maintenance Planner wizard make sure that the
SQLSERVERAGENT service is started and its properties are set to auto start for a
local system account. If the SQLSERVERAGENT is not running, the database
maintenance plan will not run. The following steps describe how to launch and
configure the SQL 2000 Database Maintenance Planner:
1. Open SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager.
2. Expand Microsoft SQL Servers, expand the SQL Server Group and select the SQL
server.
3. On the Tools menu, click Database Maintenance Planner…
4. After the wizard launches click the Next> button.
5. Select These databases radio button and select the Thomson_Ingest,
Thomson_RulesWizard and ThomsonAM databases .
6. Click the Next> button to navigate to the Update Data Optimization Information page.
7. Select the Update statistics used by query optimizer. Sample check box and set it to
10% of the database.
8. Check the schedule to verify that the time scheduled will not conflict with peak
usage of the system. If a schedule time change is needed, click the Change… button
to modify the time. This option can be run daily but once a week is good.
