Question: I need to create an extra sql transaction log file to a SQL Server database. What is the correct syntax?
I’ve run out of disk space on the dedicated log file drive and need to run a very large query one-off query.The storage administrators have added a temporary extra disk , for the extra sql transaction log file.
Answer: Use the ALTER DATABASE command to add an extra SQL transaction log file with a destination location . The example below adds an extra log file to an existing database
USE [master] GO ALTER DATABASE [database_name] ADD LOG FILE ( NAME = N'database_nameExtraLog', FILENAME = N'N:\ database_nameExtraLog.ldf' , SIZE = 20480KB , FILEGROWTH = 1024KB ) GO
