can also stop a database from maintaining a transaction log or mirror, or start
maintaining a transaction log or mirror.
The utility displays additional information about the transaction log,
including the following:
♦ Version number
♦ Starting offset, for use in replication
♦ Ending offset, for use in replication
♦ Page size
♦ Total number of pages
♦ Number of empty pages
♦ Percentage of the log file in use
