Model Break Log For Free

A recovery model is a database property that controls how transactions are logged, whether the transaction log requires (and allows) backing up, and what kinds of restore operations are available. Three recovery models exist: simple, full, and bulk-logged.

Start Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. Expand 'Databases'. Right-click the database that has the transaction log you wish to shrink and select 'Tasks' > 'Shrink' > 'Files'. In the 'File Type' droplist, select 'Log'.

The "Simple" recovery model is the most basic recovery model for SQL Server. Every transaction is still written to the transaction log, but once the transaction is complete and the data has been written to the data file the space that was used in the transaction log file is now re-usable by new transactions.

Using Simple Recovery, the database can be recovered to the point of the last full or differential backup. The database cannot be restored to the point of failure or to a specific point in time. With Full Recovery, the database can be recovered to the point of failure or to a specific point in time.

Simple recovery model This model automatically removes the transaction log records on every completed transaction. So, it doesn't support transaction log backups, only full or differential backup. If there is a malfunction or crash in the database, then you can restore it with the recent full or differential backup.

Log-based recovery is a technique used in database management systems (DBMS) to recover a database to a consistent state in the event of a failure or crash. It involves the use of transaction logs, which are records of all the transactions performed on the database.

Truncate the transaction log Right-click the database and select Properties -> Options. Set the recovery model to Simple and exit the menu. Right-click the database again and select Tasks -> Shrink -> Files. Change the type to Log . Under Shrink action, select Reorganize pages before releasing unused space and click OK.
