delete log with sql stmt

  • Hello everyone, is there any SQL stmt to access log? Can i go into log file just as we go in MDF file "select , delete from xyz..... "

    As i want to delete the last 7 days log so is there any way to do this with the sql stmt, as with the help of sql stmt we can shrink the log but if i want to delete the last 7 days log by using sql stmts than how can i do this without using the Job Schedulers ?

    Thanx in Advance.

  • What about data older than 7 days, do you want to keep it there?

    I don't think you can truncate committed data selectively from the log. It's a all or nothing situation. You would typically do it with a log backup statement. You also have the option to truncate the log without generating a log backup file with the "WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY" option.
