The log file for database is full

Question

So our SQL Server 2000 is giving me the error, \"The log file for database is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space.\"

How do I go

Answer 1

To just empty it:

backup log  with truncate_only  

To save it somewhere:

backup log  to disk='c:\somefile.bak'

If you dont really need transactional history, try setting the database recovery mode to simple.
