Shrinking the log file script for SQL server database

Shrinking the log file script for SQL server database                               

This script mainly for a DBA’s, because most of the time the log file grow again and again and eats up all the disk space and finally an application goes down.

Errors from SQL server error log:

Error: 9002, Severity: 17, State: 2.

 

The transaction log for database ‘test’ is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases

If you got an error “Error: 9002, Severity: 17, State: 2.” like this go and check the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases by running below command and see what value it returns.

 

SELECT name, recovery_model_desc, log_reuse_wait_desc FROM sys.databases name='test'


Shrinking the files is not recommended but, anyway to prevent the database down we can shrink the log files at least some crucial situation. Try to avoid shrinking database files as much as possible. See my previous post How to avoid the shrinking.

--history propose
USE [master]
GO
CREATE TABLE [DBO].[tbl_get_logfiles_details](
            [dbname] [SYSNAME] NOT NULL,
            [backup_location] [SYSNAME]NOT NULL,
            [name] [SYSNAME] NOT NULL,
            [log_size] [INT] NULL,
            [log_usedsize] [INT] NULL,
            [log_usedsize%] [DECIMAL](18, 0) NULL,
            [log_reuse_wait_desc] [SYSNAME] NOT NULL,
            [freespace] [INT] NULL,
            [shrink_status] [SYSNAME] NULL,
            [date] [DATETIME] NULL
)

Note:

 

This procedure only works with the following criteria.

  • A backup disk can be a local disk.
  • The log backup has been done at least one time for the all databases.
  • The database recovery model does not simple.

This coding style has been taken from Support-Matrix Brent Ozar websites thanks to Brent.

The 1 GB log file size is rough calculation and you can alter the procedure whatever you want.

Important note: This procedure will not shrink the log file if it has an active transaction (VLF).

Summary:        Shrinking the log files to prevent the disk running out of space
Contact:        Muthukkumaran Kaliyamoorhty SQL DBA
Description:    This Sproc will take the each of the log files one by
one and check their size more than 1GB then this will do two kinds of work.
1. Check the log filesize >1GB AND log reuse wait type is not log backup then shrink
2. Check the log filesize >1GB AND log reuse wait type is log backup AND the
drive size greater than backup size then take a backup AND shrink it
