| No, you can't stop logging. Let log file auto grow. If you want to delete all rows in the table, use truncate table statement instead. |

if you are keeping only a tiny fraction of a large table, you could do this:1. bcp out the rows you want to keep.2. truncate the table.3. bulk insert the rows exported in step 1 back into the table.
