shrinking LOG on MSDE

  • Hello

    I have a problem on my buisness application software that is resume by some transactions make growing the Log of my database.

    Because the application is based on MSDE i can´t shrink my Log by backup them, and when my database goes to 2 GB my account program don´t work.

    I need a solution because all the time i must export all the tables in DBF format and open a new blanck database to import all theses tables and also rebuild all triggers and defaults.

    for example of volume :

    before rebuild : 1,95 GB

    after rebuild : 495 MB

    I don´t know if an SQL problem, because for example in ACCESS i have the same problem but compacting the database i resolve and get free some space by shrinking the database.

    I hope someone could give me one solution for this problem

  • Which version of MSDE, most will work with DBCC SHRINKFILE if I remember correctly.
