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

My friend who faced this error in the past recommends:

Try

• Backing up the DB. The maintenance plan includes truncation of these files.
• Also try changing the 'recovery mode' for the DB to Simple (instead of Full for instance)

Cause: The transaction log swells up due to events being logged (Maybe you have a number of transactions failing and being rolled back.. or a sudden peaking in transactions on the server )
