Feb 8, 2012 at 16:43 comment added JNK Log gets reused, but depending on your backup strategy you can probably shrink the LOG
Feb 8, 2012 at 16:41 comment added Neil Knight As the log is so large, will it shrink automatically?
Feb 8, 2012 at 16:40 comment added JNK it will cause all kinds of IO activity, increase fragmentation, etc etc etc. shrinking of DB files should be done very carefully and manually and with great caution.
