MSSQL log file management

  • HI,

    I have my MSSQL database on a hoster that uses the Plesk management hosting system.

    In this system they have a tool for MSSQL log file rotation ( ie daily weekly etc, compression).

    I assume this just shrinks the MSSQL database log file.

    What say yee, is this good practise, should I rotate or shrink my log files as often as 'daily'??

    What is good MSSQL log file management ?

  • If you are asking about managing transaction logs - read the article I link to in my signature. If you are asking about the error logs, then it depends on what you really need to accomplish.

    I generally don't do anything special for the SQL Server or SQL Agent logs. I just let them rollover as needed based upon the default settings.
