I’m not highly experienced in SQL, and I find that I often struggle with tasks that go beyond basic operations. In my test database, which is relatively small, the transaction log has grown excessively large. I’m looking for advice on how to properly clear or manage this transaction log. Can anyone provide a reliable method or best practice for resetting the log in SQL Server?
hey jasper, try to backup the tran log first, then shrink it using dbcc shrinkfile. works pretty well for my testdb and shouldn’t cause too many fusses if u do it during low traffic
hey jasper, hav u considered switching your recovery model to simple? this can autotruncate the tranlog during checkpoints. curious if you’ve tried that route before or if its performance ok for your testdb?
