hello all,

just wondering the hard and fast rule on log file size?


should it be the same as database size?

half datbase size?

twice database size


is there a rule of thumb?

They say 25% of the data file. But mine are usually bigger than the data file in production due to DBCC DBREINDEX and FULL recovery model. I start out at 25% and let it grow from there.

Depends on the system.
If it's oltp then you would expect the log file to be very small.
For batch processing it can be very large.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
