Steve Jones

My background is I have been working with computers since I was about 12. My first "career" job in this industry was with network administration where I became the local DBA by default. I have also spent lots of time administering Netware and NT networks, developing software, managing smaller IT groups, making lots of coffee, ordering pizza for late nights, etc., etc.

I currently am the editor of SQL Server Central and an advocate/architect at Redgate Software. I am also the President of SQL Saturday, maintain the T-SQL Tuesday monthly party, and remember our colleagues at sqlmemorial.org.

Question of the Day

The New Log File

I have a detached database from SQL Server 2019, called TDE_Primer. This database had a 100MB data file and a 73MB log file. The log file was lost, so I need to run this code: 

USE [master]
GO
CREATE DATABASE [TDE_Primer] ON 
( FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\TDE_Primer.mdf' )
 FOR ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG
GO
How big is the new log file?
