    For detach/attach, probably the same as SQL 2000, using the sp_detach_db and sp_attach_db procedures (see Books Online for details)

    As for shrinking the log, why do you want to? Shrinking's a bad idea unless you know that the file in question won't grow to that size again. Growing is expensive and repeated shrink/grow cycles cause a number of problems.
