Transaction log is full

  • I was just testing one of our old VB6 applications against a SQL Server 2005 database that we upgraded a couple of months ago, when I got the following error message:

    The transaction log for database 'OurDatabase' is full.

    To find out why space in the log cannot be reused,

    see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases.

    So I ran a query against that log_reuse_wait_desc column and got the following:

    log_reuse_wait_desc
    1NOTHING
    1NOTHING
    1LOG_BACKUP
    1CHECKPOINT
    1LOG_BACKUP
    1LOG_BACKUP
    1LOG_BACKUP
    1LOG_BACKUP
    1LOG_BACKUP
    1LOG_BACKUP
    1LOG_BACKUP
    1NOTHING

    I don't know what this is telling me, so I would certainly appreciate some help with it, please.

  • I believe that column tells you why your log can't be truncated at this time.

    Here's a link that may help you.
