thank you for these precisions (and for the french saying)

(i'm afraid I'm the system administrator and my own primary support provider too on this one...)

i had some weird message yesterday saying "can't scan with (NOLOCK) due to movement data" during an sql operation (nothing phenomenal, something like deletion of 100 records, and insertion of roughly the same amount in the same table). Unheard until then...

i had some logs saying "can't find DB_log.ldf" on sqlserver starting processes, but right after it found it...

As I'm not originally a DBA (i'm only a poor programmer !), I don't know precisely the utility of .dmp files (they go back to january 2002 !!). Is this bad doctor ?

(DTS job is nearly finished... suspense...)
