Log Full - Why No Message 9002?

[BootMeUp]

I ran a test to force a log full situation.&nbsp;&nbsp;I created a test db with automatic expansion (1MB).&nbsp;&nbsp;The log file was created at 1MB with no expansion.&nbsp;&nbsp;I set up an alert with email to me and system operator - also net send to both.<br>I ran an insert to five (integer) columns - looped.<br>Ultimately, after 310k rows inserted, the db file was 16MB and the log file was 1,024kb.&nbsp;&nbsp;The insert disconnected several times - at which time I checked the file sizes and restarted.&nbsp;&nbsp;The db file kept growing but the log file reached and remained at 1,024kb.<br>There was never an alert fired, nor message sent/received.&nbsp;&nbsp;The NT Event Viewer indicated no error messages for system or applications.<br><br>1)Was the log file (circular) dropping off transactions at the end of 1,024kb and continuing to add the newest?<br>2)Why no log full (9002) message?<br><br>SQL Server 7.0 sp 1 on NT4 sp 5.<br><br>
