    how to free up space in log file?

    - kill the open tran (but don't know what tran does)

    - manual checkpoint (but don't know how much space it'll free up)

    - shrink log (but there's not much free space)

    ?

  • Kill the open transaction or wait for it to complete. Nothing else will have any impact on the log while there is an open transaction.

  • killed the tran.

    that should have caused a checkpoint - log file space used dropped.

    then shrank it.

    all good.
