Database log file is full?

  • Hi,

    I am receiving the below message however when going into my database properties and going into 'File' it's set as either unrestricted growth for the log files or 2097152MB limit and the log files are only taking up about 3gigs.

    [font="Arial Narrow"]Could not allocate new page for database. There are no more pages available in the file group.

    Database log file is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space.

    Could not allocate space for ojbect in database because the filegroup is full.[/font]

    Do you know how I can resolve this and give it more space?

    Thanks in advance.

  • It sounds like either the disk is full, or you have a transaction that's so big that it's going to fill the disk and/or the filegroup.

  • - Add a second log file.

    - To find out what is filling the transaction log

    USE [DBNAME];

    DBCC OPENTRAN;

    - check log backups

    - if you have replication, check the log reader is running.

    - check index maintenance, you may have a big index rebuilding.

  • Have you taken any log backups? It's not clear from your post.
