Question: How can I identify the Primary Transaction Log file on a SQL Server database ?
Answer: To identify the Primary Transaction Log file on a SQL Server database use this sql statement
Use DB_NAME GO select fileid,filename from sys.sysfiles where fileid = 2
By design, you can’t drop the Primary Transaction Log file, this message appears :
The primary data or log file cannot be removed from a database. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 5020) You can add Transaction Log files
To add extra Transaction Log files - read this post - Add an extra SQL Transaction log file – ALTER DATABASE ADD LOG
