  • RE: Problems shrinking logfile

    anilkullam (1/26/2011)


    Even if this doesn't work, the last option could be issuing the command DBCC shrinkfile ('DB_file',500) with TRUNCATE_ONLY

    Truncate_only is ignored when shrinking log files. It has no effect whatsoever....

    Log Space used is 50%.

    Which means that the log needs to be at least 2.5 GB in size. Shrink it below that and it will just grow again.

  • RE: Problems shrinking logfile

    Why do you want to shrink it?

    How full is the log? (DBCC SQLPERF(LogSpace)

    Check in sys.databases and see what the current value is for log_reuse_wait_desc for this database.

    In that case you need to schedule your log backups at least every 20 minutes. Make sure that they, like your full backups, are copied off the server to some...
