I am running SP5a for SQL 6.5

Another thing I noticed is that if my transaction log
get full I can't clear it. I need to run checkdb.sql
first then I can clear it. If I try and clear the
transaction log before it gets full it seem to work.
However nothing I do seems to fix the problem with
the database.

By the way, I have been running Emerald on this SQL
server for about 3 years now and I could alway do a
DBCC CheckDB to fix this problem in the past.
