Could someone tell me what to do about this; the log file is 3x the size of the database? I cleared the site log/event log, etc, but I think I am missing something and looking in the wrong place...clearly.  :)

do a frequent backup with "truncate log" option, otherwise the transaction log will continue to grow.

Danke, sir. I am about to move hosts, so I'll be doing another backup tonight, then will attempt the truncation.  Just use the exec in the host -> SQL window? Or is there something something special I need to do?

it depends on the SQL server version, which backup options are available, I usually prefer scheduled backups or management studio for this operation.

Is there a simple exec truncate log type of command I could enter in the host->SQL window?  I didn't see an option to clear it in the Webbase Enterprise Manager v.2.0 r.096 and I really have no idea what I am doing (and hate to play and mess the db up just prior to the move). :)
