Re: Shrink .LDF File

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Dear Brian,

I tried this command before posting this question in the Community
Newsgroup. Unfortunately, there is no success and the file size remains the
same. However, when I checked the file this morning (Tuesday, 06-Sep-05 @
1030hrs) the file is shrunk.

Best Regards,
