| Hello,I have a database that is just 10MB and transaction log that is 5GB, the person who made the maintenance plan didn't included the transaction logs into the backup and the file is now huge.Now i don't have space on that server to make a backup of the database and the transaction logs so the log file will shrink.My question is: if i set the recovery model to simple will the log file shrink automatically? or what to do with the transaction log file?Regards,Nikola |
