Transaction Log Full

  • I have a job that runs an ssis package. Its failing with the following error message. The recovery model is set to Simple so I dont understand why Im getting this error:

    Description: "The transaction log for database 'Portal' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases"

    Any info is appreciated.

  • Transaction logging still occurs in Simple mode. If the transaction you are running is larger than your transaction log, you'll get that error. Other things can cause or contribute to it as well - replication and log shipping, for example. If you query sys.databases in the way the error message suggests, you'll get more information.

  • sounds like the log is not large enough to cope with the longest active transaction 😉
