Nata writes "Hello,
I have a few databases on the server and some of them has a huge Trunsaction_log fileI used methods which had been offered by the SQL-team :
...
use master
backup log transform with truncate_only
...
use transform
/*execute 10 trunsactions*/
...
use master
dbcc shrinkdatabase (transform)
print 'Shrunk Database'

backup log transform with truncate_only
print 'Truncated log'

but it works only for some databases and doesn't for another.
I can't use sp_detach_db because it is live web site and I
can't stop activity on it. I tried all traditional methods ( shrinkdatabase and shrinkfile) and they also doesn't work.

Please, help.
Nataly."
