The database is strictly for reporting and is overwritten with each DTS job anyway so I don't care about recovery.

Well Roger, you could always automate this process by putting it into a job and scheduling it to run as often as you need it. Or you could add them as a final step in the DTS package.

You also might look to see if there is a non-logged way to do the work you're doing. If you'd like to tell us more about what the DTS job does, we might be able to suggest some other ideas.

Is your recovery model set to SIMPLE? If so, then change your job so that it commits the work in batches rather than in one large batch.
