SQL Server 7.0 - shrink transaction log

This is to all the SQL Server gurus out there.

We have a database (Sql Server 7.0) that is taking up 11 gigs of free space with the transaction log. I have truncated the log, set the option to truncate log on checkpoint, ran a sql server backup of the database, stopped and restarted sql server.

The log has shrunk to 36 MB of used space but still has 11 gigs of free space. What do I need to do to free up this space?

Thanks,

Re: [SQL Server 7.0 - shrink transaction log ]

DBCC Shrinkdatabase or
DBCC Shrinkfile

Either one will do the trick.

Try to shrink the log (not only truncate).

However be sure to have an updated backup of your data just in case.

DeRay,

Here is the syntax to clean up the log Dump transaction DATABASENAME
with no_log. You may need to reboot your system.
