The transaction log for the database is full

I had this error once and it ended up being the server's hard drive that run out of disk space.


Is this a one time script, or regularly occurring job?

In the past, for special projects that temporarily require lots of space for the log file, I created a second log file and made it huge. Once the project is complete we then removed the extra log file.


To fix this problem, change Recovery Model to Simple then Shrink Files Log

1. Database Properties > Options > Recovery Model > Simple

2. Database Tasks > Shrink > Files > Log

Done.

Then check your db log file size at Database Properties > Files > Database Files > Path

To check full sql server log: open Log File Viewer at SSMS > Database > Management > SQL Server Logs > Current
