Not sure if this is true... I heard that to back up the transaction log, the
database has to be stopped.

Fresh in memory because 2 days ago I had meeting with MS SQL people from Microsoft. I will talk about MS SQL 2000 Enterprise. 1. MS SQL cannot handle exception. There is nothing like EXCEPTION WHEN ... THEN.
2. MS SQL has nothing like package.
3. MS SQL has nothing like partitioned table (next release in 2 years will have)
4. There is nothing like INSERT NOLOGGING. You have start/stop logging for whole session.
5. There's nothing like sequence (Well, IDENTITY column IS NOT sequence).
6. Well, you can use undocumented function pwdencrypt and pwdcompare to store passwords (the same hash function for storing users password is using MS SQL) :-)
7. There is nothing like ARCHIVE MODE in MS SQL.
Just my notes from meeting.
