Verifying the State of the Secondary Truncation Point

Check whether the secondary truncation point is set for a database.

  1. Log in to the primary database.
  2. Execute dbcc gettrunc.
    For example, to see if the secondary truncation point is set in the Parts database:
    > use Parts
    > go
    > dbcc gettrunc
    > go
    In the output, a 0 in the ltm_trunc_state column means the secondary truncation point is turned off for the database. A 1 in the ltm_trunc_state column indicates the secondary truncation point is turned on.
