We have a fairly large database that we use to store mom alerts and it stopped alerting as it's transaction log became full. I suggested to the owner of the database to set the simple recovery model so the log could automatically be truncated. However, it appears that the database is frequently reaching it's limit (of 3gb) and I'm having to set the limit even higher on a daily basis. Can anyone tell me why this is occuring? I understood that when the log file reaches 70% it should automatically shrink?
Kind Regards
Mike
