    Out of house database build. I had nothing to do with it except being asked why optimaization task fails with the error "transaction log is full.

    Just inceased the trans action logs to start.

    Anyone exsplain to me why the indexes need to be lareger then the data.

  • Could need to have sp_updatestats and DBCC UPDATEUSAGE ran. Could be sysindexes is not reflecting properly and this may solve. Try it and let us know.
