I came in to work today and one of my databases now has an LDF log file that is 200 gigs. The database is extremely small. It has a dozen or so functions, no views, and about 15 small tables. How did it get so big? Also, how do I resolve this situation? I tried backing it up, deleting it, and then restoring, but it restores the log file again to an even larger size.
