You shouldnt remove the transaction log file.Instead take measures to
control its growth. There is no automatic shrinking inbuilt unless you
specify.If you care about log backups, then schedule a sql job which will
take log backups at regular intervals.If you dont care, then check the
option "truncate log on checkpoint" on database properties(sql7), "simple"
recovery model(sql2000) and BACKUP LOG <databasename> WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY
.These actions would only truncate ( or empty ) the log so that no further
space is extracted unless needed.In order to shrink (or reduce the physical
size of the file ), refer:
--SQL7
INF: How to Shrink the SQL Server 7.0 Transaction Log
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/Articles/q256/6/50.asp
and/or
www.sqlserverfaq.com and search for "sql7shrinklognowork.txt"
--SQL2000
INF: Shrinking the Transaction Log in SQL Server 2000 with DBCC SHRINKFILE
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/Articles/q272/3/18.asp
In case the log doesnt shrink even after DBCC SHRINKFILE, then do a
combination of...
Back up the Database (BACKUP DATABASE dbname...)
Back up the log (BACKUP LOG dbname...)
Truncate the log (BACKUP LOG dbname WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY)
Shrink the file (DBCC SHRINKFILE...)
