  • RE: Low Memory usage / Large Transaction Log

    If the actual log file is shrinking, it means you have auto_shrink enabled. Turn it Off! Autoshrink should never, never, never be enabled.

    Would 2008 offer more?

    Yes, it has more options available. You would still have to set them up though.

    I wrongly assumed that turning on transactino logging would be enough.

    What do you mean by 'turning on transaction logging'?

    I have a database stuck in 'restoring' but there is no restore progress in the sql logs. Should I just let it continue?
