What is equivalent of Oracle Archiver/Read only tablespaces in SQL server
Hi All,
What does SQL server offer for oracle Read only tablespaces & transportable tablespaces?
I am also getting lost reading more on SQL server trasnaction logs.
Most posts recommend keeping just one transaction log file for each database. Duplexing logs can have issues they say which is not true in Oracle & highly recommended.
If the database is under FULL recovery mode I need to backup transaction log after defined interval. I want to know if there is something like Oracle Archiver process which can do this without dba intervention in background?
Many Thanks

Many thanks for your response. I have added my comments
>>> regarding transaction log: It is only possible to have one transaction log (it is a table, syslogs) for each MSSQL database. But it is possible to have this log spread out over several devices (e.g. RAID) or to have the device that the log is on mirrored.
-- How is this done? Is it done by creating filegroup which will spread files against underlying spindles?
>> If the database is under FULL recovery mode I need to backup transaction log after defined interval. I want to know if there is something like Oracle Archiver process which can do this without dba intervention in background?
-- How transaction log backup is done at SQL server? Please consider this as a highly x'actional OLTP system creating too many logs entries (insert/update/delete) every minute.
