Running a SQL 7 system on a Windows 2000 server using Access 2000 on client
machines as a front end. System administrator currently reboots the server
once a month. Yesterday we had some weird thing with the database where
users were getting ODBC errors when trying to access it. Rebooted the
server, everything was fine. Suggested to the sa that he reboot the server
once a week. He said he already does it once a month, and that's sufficient.

My POV is that: a) doing it once a week might prevent situations such as the
one yesterday; b) even without situations like the one yesterday,
performance may be degrading over the course of the month, without our being
aware of it, and rebooting once a week might help performance.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!
