Well you have to be able to connect to SQL Server using some client tool. I use Management Studio and sqlcmd.

Your recovery model of that database is likely FULL, the default, and no tlog backups are happening. The DBA needs to either switch the recovery model to SIMPLE or start backing up the tlog frequently. We backup our tlogs every 15 minutes.
