[dba-SQLServer]Truncate Transaction Log

Billy,

You need to shrink the Tlog. I would make sure that the Tlog doesn't grow over a certain size or it will eat up all the disk space you have. Depending on the volume of transactions you might want to back up the Tlog on a regular schedule and then schedule a job to shrink it every night. You will probably have to go through several shrink operations before you are able to recover back all the unused space.

Hello:

I have a database using FULL Recovery Model.  The Transaction Log is about 
10 times the size of the Data File.  I just performed a Full Database 
Backup.  How do I reuse the inactive portion of the Transaction Log?

Thanks in advance,
Billy
