Sql 2016 Shrink Log File Full Recovery Mode
Solving the problemIdeally, you should start backing up the SQL Log files. Many people get confused and think they only have to backup the SQL Database file. In Full Recovery mode, the SQL Log files (.LDF files) must be backed up themselves, in addition to backing up the SQL Database. Table with Parquet, Orc, Avro - Hive SQL 1,265 Create, Drop, and Truncate Table - Hive SQL 2,915.The problem happens when a SQL Server Database is configured for Full Recovery mode (often the Default).
This method is the quickest, but you lose the ability to restore to a point in time from the last full backup, so perform this at your own risk. If your database is not in an AG or DM, then just switch the recovery model to simple, shrink the Log file using SQL Management Studio, then if needed, switch the recovery model back to full.

Then add some cushion so that future physical log growth does not block transactions from occurring. Also, you may want to consider allowing the size of the log file to be 25% of the size of the physical database file (.MDF) because otherwise when log growth happens, the database operations will block all active transactions and that will cause latency within applications (imagine users complaining).You can determine how much of the log file is in use by running this query:SELECT name ,size/128.0 – CAST(FILEPROPERTY(name, ‘SpaceUsed’) AS int)/128.0 AS AvailableSpaceInMBSo to determine the size of the log file to shrink to, subtract the “AvailableSpaceInMB” from the physical database size reported by the command: DBCC SQLPERF(LOGSPACE).
