    I really wound not recomend this but it will create you a new tranlog that is empty.

    I would not recommend that under any circumstances. It's the quickest way to get a corrupt and unusable database.

    Or back up the db in simple and dump the log with no_log

    In simple recvery,no backup log is necessary. A checkpoint truncates the log.

    Backup log ... with no_log is no longer available in SQL 2008. It will throw an error saying unrecognised backup option.
