correction in full recovery Model.
it should be full recovery in stand of bulk logged

* full recovery activities are intermixed with normal transaction processing.

BACKUP LOG WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY

DBCC SHRINKFILE(‘databasename log file’,5)

Good Luck!

Users access the database for queries only. I really don’t need any recovery since if the bulk insert fails one day, I can redo it in 15 minutes.

How do I see what my recovery model is, switch it to Simple (because my LDF log file is 21 GB and growing and I have only 20 GB left on my server). At this rate I might run out of disk space in 6 months or less. Then I need to truncate this huge file and get the space.

Many thanks
