  • RE: LDF file grew unexpectedly

    You don't need a third party tool.

    use DBNAME

    SELECT * FROM ::fn_dblog(null, null)

    GO

    That only reads the active portion of the transaction log. It doesn't read a transaction log backup.

    Actually, I heard from someone at PASS that WITH RECOMPILE does not work reliably for this problem in SQL2005, but "is fixed" in SQL 2008.
