[Danilo Popoviæ]

Hi everybody,

I have SQL Server 2K database with 114 MB of data and 220 MB of log file. I
have 213 MB of log file free ana stil I cannot shrink log file to 30 MB!
Where is the problem?

Thank you in advance

If the free space is there try using dbcc shrinkfile, have you tried
this already and it did not work?

Hi, Ray

Dbcc shrinkfile (is_log, 10) changed is_log's file size from 220 MB to 162
MB!!!
This is a message from SQLSvr:

Cannot shrink log file 2 (IS_Log) because all logical log files are in use.
DbId FileId CurrentSize MinimumSize UsedPages EstimatedPages
