The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2000, now the log file size (.ldf) increase quickly up 50GB and the hard disk size can not handle anymore. I tried to backup the log file into a partition size only 20GB, but the error come up as "Write on E:\DSL_Bakup_Log_14032007 failed, status =112.". I think might be the space is not enough to store the backed up log. I tried to bakup into network mapped drive, but SQL does not show the mapped drive, shows only local drive.

What is the Shrink database? How it works?

Please advice as I want to reduce the log file size as now I don't have enough space to store.

Thanks,
Vannak
