I have been doing an audit of my SQL Server log, as I 'thought' it was locked down but appeared to be open and we were getting a lot of password attempts on the SA account.
After sorting that, I have noticed throughout the day in the ErrorLog I have entries like this
2012-04-20 09:45:13.08 spid81 Starting up database 'DatabaseNameOne'.
2012-04-20 09:48:45.23 spid65 Starting up database 'DatabaseNameTwo'.
2012-04-20 09:53:58.16 spid143 Starting up database 'DatabaseNameFour'.
2012-04-20 09:54:28.24 spid151 Starting up database 'DatabaseNameFive'.
2012-04-20 09:54:47.04 spid152 Starting up database 'DatabaseNameSix'.
For all the databases on the server. Its doing this more or less every hour? Is that right? I assumed once the database had started thats it unless I restart the SQL service or shut down the server?
Any advice appreciated - Thanks.
