BEGIN TRAN . . . WITH MARK . . .

Hallo All,

Can somebody explain why the same function works different with MS SQL 2000 and MS SQL 2005?
On both systems 2000 and 2005 I have 2x databases named ACCT and PROD (actually only a test environment).
On both systems I try to execute the following statements:
BEGIN TRAN TRAN_01 WITH MARK 'My TRAN_01'
USE PROD
INSERT INTO [PROD].[dbo].[_PROT]([STR_COMMENT], [R_NUM_T1], [R_NUM_T2])
VALUES('PROT_COMMENT', 1004, 1004)
USE ACCT
INSERT INTO [ACCT].[dbo].[_PROT]([STR_COMMENT], [R_NUM_T1], [R_NUM_T2])
VALUES('PROT_COMMENT', 1004, 1004)
COMMIT TRAN TRAN_01
After executing the statements I start the following query:
SELECT * FROM [msdb].[dbo].[logmarkhistory]
On MS SQL 2000 I get as results:
PROD TRAN_01 My TRAN_01 SUPPORT\Administrator 3944000000107600001 2006-03-29 17:15:13.930
ACCT TRAN_01 My TRAN_01 SUPPORT\Administrator 8000000009200001 2006-03-29 17:15:13.930
Seems to be correct. I think it is the way it should work according to the documentation.

On MS SQL 2005 I only get the following results:
PROD TRAN_01 My TRAN_01 SU 29000000107800001 2006-03-29 17:31:32.283
There are no entries in the table for the ACCT database and the account / user_name is shown incorrectly.
It seems to be an ERROR in the processing of such marked transactions in MS SQL 2005.See the Books Online Topic "Ensuring Recoverability of Related Databases". I believe that there is a change in SQL Server 2005.|||Hello ALL,
I have the solution now.
It have nothing to do with some changes in SQL Server 2005.
It seems just to be the following. I habe never made a backup
of the ACCT database in the past. After I executed the full
online backup of the ACCT database for the first time I get
exactly the same results as with MS SQL 2000.
