My hoster (Arvixe) says a database is really big- actually they clarified this to say it's one file having the EventLog files go back until we started web site - would like to keep since last update. but I could see removing the rest.  Not being able to get to SSMS at the moment due to a computer issue (unrelated) where does this file exist in the root directory that i might edit the content?  I can view it in the log viewer but cannot edit it.

Thanks,

Mike

Michael,

you could try to execute the following command in Host :: SQL:

DELETE FROM {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}EventLog WHERE LogCreateDate < DATEPART(dd, -7, GETDATE())

This will delete all eventlog entries older than a week. Please refer to the DATEADD function.

Anyway, this would not reduce the file size as long as you don't shrink the files - I can't give you any advice as I don't know about your specific setup, but something like DBCC SHRINKDATABASE and/or DBCC SHRINKFILE should do the trick.

Happy DNNing!
Michael

if you are able to loose all entries inthedatabase, the fastest and easiest Option is executing the following Statement in Host > SQL
TRUNCATE Table {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}EventLog
This does apply to all DNN Versions up to 07-03-04

I seem to not be able the get the syntax correct:

TRUNCATE  (dbo) TABLE EventLog or it references a foreign Key? (where dbo = name of database)

I tried several variations without success..
