  • RE: Transactio log won't shrink on mirrored database

    Why do you feel the need to shrink your log file? Are you having serious space issues?

    If not, don't obsess about file shrinking. It's not worth the headaches you're about...

  • RE: Restoring From Backup

    As a matter of fact, we have jobs that restore daily down to our QA server. We don't do every database, but we do the major ones.

    May I just mention that many people in this debate are forgetting that historically speaking, there is a predecessor to paying taxes. It even predates feudalism.

    It was called tribute....

    It is currently 10GB and the initial size is the same.

    Wait. Initial size is 10GB? What is the file's initial size on the principal server?

    Brandie, you keep coming back to the tlog actually needing the space, but from what I can tell there are virtually no transactions occurring right now (one or two...

  • RE: Application is unable to connect to the database.
