I'm getting an error from SQL Server 2000 displaying that the Transactin log is full. How do I clear the transaction log?
 
It really depends upon your backup strategy - If you are doing full backups, backing up transaction logs, etc. Books on line has some good info on this - If you are backing up your transaction logs it will truncate the unused portion of the transaction log upon completing the log backup. If you backup transaction logs and just truncate the log without backing it up first you will not be able to recover to current point in time so you need to be careful. Let me know if you need more information or if this is what you are looking for.
