# of transaction

  • Hi all,

    I got the following error message while running an application that uses SQLdb.

    DBSPI-3266.1: # of transaction log expansions for NIManagementDB (6.00) too high (>=4.00) for

    I tried to understand what it is, but I would appreciate if anyone can give me a better explanation.

    Thanks indeed for your help

  • I would start by checking the status of transaction log for NIManagementDB database.

    Is it set for autogrowth?... in the affirmative case, in the growth % or size something reasonable or is it set to a ridiculous low value like 1% or 1 Meg?

  • Is seems that NIManagementDB is watching your transactionlogfile and registers when this file needs to expand. If this file expands > 4 times in an hour(?), it's complaining (This is not a SQL error). As mentioned by Paul, change the loggrowth.

    Also make sure autoshrink is disabled for that specific database (although autoshrink is not recommended at all), otherwise you'll get the situation of shrinking and growing which is causing a lot of CPU and IO overhead and fragmentation
