BatchFile Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I've got a SQL 2005 server (for Sage mainly); I'm pretty sure I've set up the backup job correctly, followed by a shrink database task, but the ldfs are still 400MB+ This is the SQL generated by the shrink task - any ideas why the logs aren't shrinking each time? USE [sage200_DemoData] GO DBCC SHRINKDATABASE(N'Sage200_DemoData', 10, TRUNCATEONLY) GO USE [s200_CPSLive_TC] GO DBCC SHRINKDATABASE(N'S200_CPSLive_TC', 10, TRUNCATEONLY) GO USE [s200_CPS_GoLiveFinal] GO DBCC SHRINKDATABASE(N'S200_CPS_GoLiveFinal', 10, TRUNCATEONLY) GO USE [s200_CPS_0405] GO DBCC SHRINKDATABASE(N's200_CPS_0405', 10, TRUNCATEONLY) GO USE [s200_CPS_0506] GO DBCC SHRINKDATABASE(N's200_CPS_0506', 10, TRUNCATEONLY) GO USE [s200_CPS_0607] GO DBCC SHRINKDATABASE(N's200_CPS_0607', 10, TRUNCATEONLY) GO USE [s200_CPS_0708] GO DBCC SHRINKDATABASE(N's200_CPS_0708', 10, TRUNCATEONLY) GO USE [s200_CPS_0908] GO DBCC SHRINKDATABASE(N's200_CPS_0908', 10, TRUNCATEONLY) GO USE [Cartmel0910] GO DBCC SHRINKDATABASE(N'Cartmel0910', 10, TRUNCATEONLY) GO USE [Cartmel1011] GO DBCC SHRINKDATABASE(N'Cartmel1011', 10, TRUNCATEONLY) GO USE [Terms] GO DBCC SHRINKDATABASE(N'Terms', 10, TRUNCATEONLY)
BatchFile Posted June 27, 2011 Author Posted June 27, 2011 Sorted it - you have to do a specific transaction log backup immediately before truncating the LDF
