    Firstly, you can set the DB back to simple recovery mode. You can shrink the logs insimple, you just can't back them up.

    Then rather post in the SQL 2000 forum please. Posting in the 2005 forum, you will get just that, a useless suggestion that wasted both out times.

  • RE: Transaction File Not budging

    Assuming 2005, query the sys.database view and check the value of the column log_reuse_wait_desc (or something similar). That tells you the reason that the log space cannot be reused.

    Don't think so, but you can rename it. Not as good, but it does make it less obvious. Call it something like guest_user_testing or something like that and give it...

  • RE: Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 16

    State 16 means that the login does not have rights on default db. That would explain why recreating the report service database fixed the issue.

  • RE: Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 16

    Did you enter the correct password? Does that login have rights in the server?

    What's the State listed for the error? (Error 18456, Severity 14, State ??)

  • RE: sql2000 security problem.

    In SQL 2000, I don't think you can. You can encrypt the procedures, but it's a fairly trivial procedure to decrypt them
