Transaction Log problem

  • I have a database for which we have scheduled One hour backup. For some reasons i dont know why my Log file XYZ_log.LDF goes go upto size 5 GB . My total Size of drive is 8GB ..so bcos of this the database becomes Single user . Right now I am using dettached and attached to solve this .But some one has to be there to frequently monitor the size.

    My Queries :

    1. what is the reason for LOg file size growth .

    2. Is this because of Uncommitted transactions.( we have some inhouse applications which opens connection but did not set to nothing )

    3. Is this because of One hour back daily.

    thanks

  • Are you using transaction log backups or are sticking strictly to full/differential?

  • I have a database maintenace plan which will back up both database and transaction log too .. File extensions are

    .BAK and .TRN

  • Are you rebuilding indexes as part of your maintenance plan? That will cause the log to grow to about the size of the data.
