Hi All,

I am trying to change the struc of a very large volume table,
thru alter table command,after a certain time it is giving error
Msg 9002,Level 17 ,State 2,Line 1
The transaction log for database 'dbname' is full.To find out why space in the log cannot be reused,see .....

Could any body suggest how to overcome this problem.

Thanks...

change database to simple recovery mode and then run alter table command.

alter database <your database name> set recovery simple

Before you do that, understand what exactly you're doing and what impact it has on your ability to recover the database after deleted data or other disaster.
