Is there a way to build a new database with no transaction log file at all? &nbsp;Or if there is a log file, it is not filled with anything ever?<br />
<br />
I want to kill that overhead. &nbsp;Nightly backups is fine for my application.<br />

As always, any information helping out will be much appreciated. <br />
