I am using SQL server Can I restrict the growth. I mean if the file size become MB,I need to clear the log file. I mean , is it clear the log after reaching MB? Jeff Moden. The log file will not grow that large if you do regular backups. Setting a 1 gig log file may cause your server to come to a sudden halt if you restrict the size and a large critical operation can't get the log space to run. If you don't care about backups, set the database recovery mode to "Simple" Kenyon Nicol.
In response to Jeff's msg, our clients do regular backups of their SQL databases, but this doesn't appear to clear the log files down, even if they do a full backup. Is there anything else, setup wise we shoudl tell them to do? If you database is in FULL recovery mode, a database backup is not enough to keep the transaction log small. You also need to take regular log backups. The inactive parts of the transaction log will be recycled and the logfile should stay relatively small.
Before you go and run to implement SIMPLE recovery mode make sure that your managers understand the "data loss" risks they are exposed to and only if it is acceptable do it, otherwise regular transaction log backups must be taken in accordance to your disaster recovery plan.
You have tested you DRP, right? Artemio Adame Gonzalez. My rule of thumb is to open it up Regardless of the rule, ya gotta watch it and figure out what it's going to do before making any "hard" settings. It does nothing as in when I click OK the screen disappears and the log file remains the same size. I am far from a SQL expert. The database is an old database that has not been used for months but needs to stay running "just in case". Can I dismount the database and move the transaction log file off of the server?
Will it just create a new one when I remount it? Or is there a better way to handle this? Tyler, Take a full backup of the database and then shrink the logfile. Take full backup of the database 2. I backed up the database, then I backed up, and truncated the transaction log, yet the transaction log is still 2 and a half gigs. I did a shrink on the log file and its still 2 and a half gigs.
Nothing I do seems to shrink the file in size. Is there anyway to fix the problem? Or is the only way back at this point to detach the database, delete the log file and then reattach with a new one? This can cause issues like this if a transaction hasn't been replicated to a subscriber.
Ensure the database's backup mode is set to Simple see here for an overview of the different modes. This will avoid SQL Server waiting for a transaction log backup before reusing space. Use dbcc shrinkfile or Management Studio to shrink the log files. This is one of the best suggestion in which is done using query. Good for those who has a lot of databases just like me. Can run it using a script. For a more detailed explanation check this out.
I had the same problem, my database log file size was about 39 gigabyte, and after shrinking both database and files it reduced to 37 gigabyte that was not enough, so I did this solution: I did not need the ldf file log file anymore.
