How to truncate SQL Log


In management studio:
  • Right-click the database, choose properties, then options.
  • Make sure "Recovery model" is set to "Simple", not "Full"
  • Click Ok
  • Right-click the database again, choose tasks -> shrink files
  • Change file type to "log"
  • Click ok.
Alternatively, the SQL to do it:
 ALTER DATABASE mydatabase SET RECOVERY SIMPLE
 DBCC SHRINKFILE (mydatabase_Log, 1)
