I am a Newbie DBA
please Help me.
My Database transaction log always more than 55% every 12 hour.
i saw it from DBCC SQLPERF(LOGSPACE) command
at Log Space Used (%) column.
It is normal?
What should i do beside dump and shrink?
Any Database setting that i should look?

Never shrink the log file, it will have to grow again to accomodate any transaction that requires the space.
Read up some more on transaction log management, you need to understand how the log works, recovery models and how the log backup affects your log space usage.

It's pretty normal behavior. Do you have log backups in place? If not, is the database in Simple recovery mode? If not, you need to setup log backups.
