sql server misc: Hi,
Please help me to solve the following scenario. We are
working on SQL Server 7.0 on Windows NT Server with Raid
5 . We are using a front end application through which all
the things are done. For the last few days we are finding
that certain sets of transactions are disappearing from
the database totally e.g.
1. Certain books are sold to the customers.
2. Stock is reduced.
3. Delivery instructions are generated from the system.

Say Point 1 & 2 are within same transaction whereas Point
3 is a separate transaction based on the committed transactions of
Point 1 & 2. Now the next day or on
the same day after 3-4 hours we find that all the
transactions are reverted. It is creating a big problem.
Is it problem with SQL Server / Windows NT / Virus / Hardware ?
Please give suggestion.

Dipankar,

Could your application possibly be using transactions which never get
committed?

Regards,
Mark
