I am using SQL Server 2008 Enterprise version. I want to know if I do not explicitly set any maintenance jobs, are there any default maintenance jobs SQL Server will perform (like backup? rebuild index? truncate transaction log?)? Where to find the current maintenance jobs?
thanks in advance,
George
No. Out of the box SQL Server will not backup automatically nor will it do any maintenance for you. As far as truncating the transaction log goes, you can do that automatically by setting the database mode to SIMPLE, but in a production environment, you do NOT want to do this, because it breaks your transasction log backup chain. In a production environment, you will need to set up a plan to back up your transaction logs and your databases, and to do index maintenance.
