Database.Checkpoint Method

Issues a checkpoint.

Namespace:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo
Assembly:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo (in Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub Checkpoint
'Usage
Dim instance As Database

instance.Checkpoint()
public void Checkpoint()
public:
void Checkpoint()
member Checkpoint : unit -> unit 
public function Checkpoint()

Remarks

A checkpoint forces any modified pages that are in memory to be written to the disk. Checkpoints are automatically issued at intervals that are determined by the Recovery Interval SQL Server configuration option. The Checkpoint method issues a checkpoint immediately, regardless of the Recovery Interval settings.
