Remarks

For an instance of Microsoft® SQL Server™2000, database checkpoints are performed automatically and at user direction. Checkpoints verify the consistency of data and a database can be configured for log truncation on a checkpoint, as consistency is assumed when a checkpoint occurs. For more information about SQL-DMO and checkpoints, see TruncateLogOnCheckpoint Property and ConfigValue Object.
