Hiiya,
On SharePoint 2007 SP2 system, got a problem running the PSconfig.exe.
Its getting stuck at updating the MSBatchHistory table. The last entry in the upgrade log is:
[SearchQFE21038DatabaseAction] [12.2.508.0] [DEBUG] [11/2/2011 10:49:04 AM]: SearchQFE21038DatabaseAction.Upgrade: Changing MSSBatchHistory column BatchID type to bigint on database SQLSRV2:SSP_Search_DB
Basically what happends is that the transaction log of the SSP_Search_DB will grow to 32GB, then our drive runs full. Causing SharePoint/SQL to ... lets just say be very mad ....
Looking at the MSBatchHistory table in contains +47million rows. So I recon that is why its killing the SQL Server.
1: What is the MSBatchHistory table?
2: Is this normal?
3: Can it be reduced?
