Hi,

I have a small database running on sqlserver express with mobile Pocketpc
clients putting in data.

The transaction log has gotten huge since changeing from MSDE to SQLExpress.

Here is the SQLPERT report:

master 0.4921875 46.8254 0
tempdb 0.7421875 68.42105 0
model 0.4921875 52.38095 0
msdb 0.7421875 46.31579 0
testdata 89764.99 0.2638862 0


How do I shrink that to something reasonalble?

I have tried shrink, to no avail.

thanks in advance,

e

What mode is the database in - Full, Bulk, or Simple (probably not
simple<G> ). If you haven't done a log backup it won't get smaller. Do a
log backup and then if necesary use shrinkfile. Get the books on line for
details.
