My SQL Server errorlog has
switched several times and I've lost the evidence of a crash problem. How can I increase
the number of errorlogs to prevent this? With SQL 6.5 and below there is no way to increase the number. With SQL 7 you can by adjusting the following registry entry :- HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer DWORD NumErrorLogs = <xx> Alternatively you can add a startup stored procedure to SQL 6.x or 7.x that copies out and renames the previous errorlog every time SQL re-starts. |
