  • Good Morning Experts,
  • An application job has been failing repeatedly with below error from last 3 days. Is there a way to find out what transaction caused the log file to become full yesterday or day before yesterday
  • failed with the following error: "The transactionlog for database 'tempdb' is full due to 'ACTIVE_TRANSACTION'.

    • 1.  How big did the transaction log file become?
    2.  What size is the disk that file lives on?
    3.  How much free space is left on the disk?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
