Anoop, I think the problem is due to lack of space on your C drive. If you can, reboot the server, this should free up space in your TEMPDB database, which might give you the necessary space to start cleaning up your other databases.

Transaction logs can be a real problem if you don’t have Maintenance Plans setup on your databases. I wrote this script to deal with test databases where I didn’t want to run Maintenance Plans.

Hope that helps!

hi OTTO, i have been working on reporting tasks for around 7 months, yesterday I recieved this error first time since I startes working, when I was generating a critical report. but I had to stop in between due to this error.
‘The transaction log for is full’

Also , It states that due to this my C drive shows very less space (around 3 mb) hence I am unable to complete my task.
This error was thrown when i was deleting around 3,51,831 records from one of my database table.

I am unable to understand how to resolve this. Is it due to less disk space in C drive or something related to transaction log ?
I am not much aware of the transaction related errors.

Could you please suggest a resolution or email me the code as you stated above. It would also help if you could explain me in simple terms as to what caused this error so that my future tasks are not affected.

highly appreciate your help.

Comment on Citrix Mime Types for Image by Theo Hubenet

Dear Otto, we build CMS systems and some of our customers use Citrix. As you can guess we got the same problem with uploading images. A customer contacted me about it and after I succesfully uploade the image I asked her to upload it while I logged the mime-type and I got the following: image/x-citrix-pjpeg
I added the mime-type to my accepted mime-types list and problem solved.. but no documentation from Citrix about this at all! Small effort to put a page about this issue on their website about the mime-types..

nice post, but shrinking your logfiles is not a good practice.
