What’s New in Transaction Management

Not much has really changed in SQL Server 2008 related to transactions, transaction logging, and transaction management. About the only real change is the removal of the WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY and WITH NO_LOG options from the BACKUP LOG command. These options are no longer available in SQL Server 2008 to prune the transaction log. The alternative is to switch the database to simple recovery model.
