| Well Vicki this is where you'll have to "think outside the box" ... I know it sounds strange, but trust me. It's with the BACKUP LOG command that you have an option to truncate the log ...setBasedIsTheTruepath<O> |

| BACKUP LOG MyNwind WITH NO_LOGThis will not back up the log, but rather truncate it. |

| After you truncate the log, the file size doesn't change... If you want to release the space you freed up to the operating system, you can use DBCC SHRINKFILE (but remember, the file will start growing again, once the log begins to fill up). If you don't need to release the free space on disk, but simply want to verify that log was truncated successfully, run DBCC SQLPERF (LOGSPACE)---------------Strong SQL Developer wanted in the Boston area. Please e-mail if interested. |
