In this article, I will try to give information about shrinking the log file in SQL Server.

In SQL Server, in some cases you may want to shrink the log file.

You can easily do this using the code below.

USE DatabaseName --You will write the database name here
ALTER DATABASE  DatabaseName --You will write the database name here
SET RECOVERY SIMPLE
GO 
 
USE DatabaseName --You will write the database name here
 --- The text 20 here is the size that the log file will be reduced to. In this example, it will be reduced to 20 mb.
DBCC SHRINKFILE (DatabaseName_Log, 20)  --You will write the database name here
GO
 
USE DatabaseName --You will write the database name here
ALTER DATABASE  DatabaseName --You will write the database name here
SET RECOVERY FULL
GO

Good luck to everyone in business and life.
