chris writes "I administer a SQL Server 7.0 DB running on WINNT 4.0 w/ sp 6 at work and have watched our transaction files grow extremely large. Right now my MDF file is 980,600K and the LDF
file is 5,223,040K. Any time I need to do a backup and restore it takes the process quite a while to complete. Is there any way for me to commit all the transactions and shrink the size of the ldf file down to where it is more manageable?"
