Quick Scan Report – Database Auto Close
The Quick Scan Report has detected that your database is set to Auto Close.
One of the features of SQL Server is autoclose, which automatically closes the database when there are no active connections to it.
Autoclose is a useful feature for managing resources on the server, as it allows the database to be closed when it is not being used. This can help to free up memory and other resources that are being consumed by the database, allowing the server to run more efficiently.
However, there are some potential drawbacks to using autoclose. For example, if the database is closed while a user is still accessing it, their connection will be terminated and they will be unable to access the data they need. This can lead to disruptions in the workflow and potentially cause issues for the organization.
Another potential downside of autoclose is that it can cause the database to be reopened frequently, which can take some time and consume additional resources. This can be particularly problematic in environments where the database is accessed frequently and the autoclose threshold is set to a low value.
Overall, autoclose is a useful feature of SQL Server that can help to manage resources on the server and improve its efficiency. However, it is important to carefully consider the potential drawbacks and ensure that it is used in a way that does not cause disruptions to the organization’s workflow.
This can be dangerous as it will shut down your database when there are no more active connections.
There are very few occasions where you would want your database to be configured with AutoClose.
