Transaction log is full - how to fix this?

Former Member
Former Member $organization

Hi everyone,

It’s been a while since I used out Test system and upon trying to log in today I got the error “The transaction log for database ‘impresario’ is full”.

I can see allot of conversation in the forums about transaction logs but seems I know very little about this topic I don’t really know where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction or have any documentation on how to solve this? I don’t know what kind of backup our Test  database even has, or where to find this.

I downloaded the free trial of RedGate SQL Script Manager that I saw recommended by a few but not sure where to go from there.

Thanks for any help!

  • Hi Natasha,

     

    Regarding backups for Test, I do create a daily backup.  All my Dev work happens on Test, and I don’t want to lose anything in progress there.  However, I have the Recovery model set to Simple so managing the trans log isn’t an issue.

     

    Good luck!

    Lori

    Just to add to this: 

    Under Properties > Options the Recovery model is set to Full

    Under General the last database backup is 12/2/2011 (last time we refreshed). Under Transaction Log shipping everything is greyed out so I guess that means it’s not actually doing anything.

    On a side note, how do others manage their Test database in terms of backups, if at all?
