I’ve compiled a couple of my scripts – both TSQL and VBScript – to create a tip for MSSQLTips.com on automating backups and deletion of SQL Server 2005 Express databases to mimic that of creating a database maintenance plan. You can check out the article for more details. Feel free to post comments on the MSSQLTips.com forum site and hopefully, you’ll find the tip very useful. I’ll write a few more tips for them in the long run just for the fun of it.
