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!

cannot backup transaction log

Asked by binary_1001010 in MS SQL Server

Tags: sql backup transaction

hi all,

I can't perform SQL maintenance anymore, when I run the following script :

delete from decade_history..tblnotifyqueue where decade_receivedt < '20-Sep-2008'

it said :

Server: Msg 9002, Level 17, State 6, Line 1
The log file for database 'DECADE_HISTORY' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space.

so i try to backup the translog by running this script :



alter database DECADE_HISTORY set recovery full

use DECADE_HISTORY

backup log DECADE_HISTORY to disk='c:\Temp\Log1.bak'
dbcc shrinkfile (DECADE_HISTORY_Log, TRUNCATEONLY)
backup log DECADE_HISTORY to disk='c:\Temp\Log2.bak'
dbcc shrinkfile (DECADE_HISTORY_Log, TRUNCATEONLY)
backup log DECADE_HISTORY to disk='c:\Temp\Log3.bak'
dbcc shrinkfile (DECADE_HISTORY_Log, TRUNCATEONLY)

use master
alter database DECADE_HISTORY set recovery FULL

the error is :

Server: Msg 9002, Level 17, State 6, Line 2
The log file for database 'DECADE_HISTORY' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space.

Please advise, I am not a DBA.  My DBA said upgrade the hard disk   but this server is VERY VERY old......


Thanks.
