The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Transaction Log is Big! How can i clear the Log? (SQL 2005 Std)

Asked by KenshiroM in SQL Server 2005, Databases Miscellaneous, MS SQL Server

Tags: , , , ,

I am currently doing a Backup Plan for my Databases.(FULL Mode)

I have a database of 28MB but its log file is around 8000MB! How will i manage to clear the Logs?

I tried the following:
1. Full backup of the Database.
    (Size of Full Backup: 28MB)
2. Backing up the Transaction Log.(Radio button: 'Truncate the Trasaction Log' Ticked).
    (Size of Transaction Log Backup: around 8000MB)
3. Shrinking up Transaction Log to 4000MB and 2000MB repeatedly.
    (Right Click on the Database --> Tasks --> Shrink --> Files --> Data Type: Log --> Shrink To 2000MB

But the Transaction Remains around 8000MB!

is it safe to just delete the Log after i performed a Full backup of the Database even if its only 28MB?

Thanks in advance and Happy Easter.
