<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a database on SQL2008 enabled with CDC. But the log file has gotten way too big and has filled up my disk. I need to truncate it somehow (I've captured the data so I don't the info in it or anything - I just need it truncated). I disabled CDC on both the tables and the database and have no open transactions<br />
<br />
I've tried SHRINKDATABASE, SHRINKFILE, And even the tool in SSMS to try to release everything in it. No matter what I do - the log file doesn't change size.<br />
<br />
Do you have any clue how I can truncate/shrink it? I just need to as small as it can be so I can start logging again.<br />
<br />
Thanks!
