• hello All,

    I run the following sintax

    Shrink a named transaction log file belonging to a database

    Changes:

    28.04.2004

    Modified the inner loop so it tested the dx time so long overruns did not happen

    Modified the inner loop so it had a fixed minimum quantity so there was no skip in skip out

    29.03.2006

    Modified the inner loop so it had a dynamic minimum quantity to allow faster shrinkage

    24.05.2006

    Modified the USE statement so it uses brackets around the dbname

    Modified the @TruncLog variable so it uses brackets around the dbname

    31.06.2006

    Modified the code to use PRINT instead of SELECT in several cases

    Modified the code to use @MaxCount instead of two unclear rules

    Modified the code to use @Factor instead of several hard-coded values

    Commented the use of @Factor

    Moved the configuration and @Counter init code to before the start of the first loop to avoid repetition

    Modified the code to display the process runtime in seconds rather than minutes

    Factor determining maximum number of pages to pad out based on the original number of pages in use

    (single page = 8K). Values in the range 1.0 - 0.8 seems to work well for many databases.

    Increasing the number will increase the maximum number of pages allowed to be padded, which should

    force larger amounts of data to be dropped before the process finishes. Often speeds up shrinking

    very large databases which are going through the process before the timer runs out.

    Decreasing the number will decrease the maximum number of pages allowed to be padded, which should

    force less work to be done. Often aids with forcing smaller databases to shrink to minimum size

    when larger values were actually expanding them.

    but i got following error

    'TRUNCATE_ONLY' is not a recognized BACKUP option.
