I have a client that is having issues with LDF files growing out of control in SQL 2005 where the files are exceeding the size of the MDF databases. I am not sure if they have maintenance plans set up on these, but when the files get too larger the apps that use these dbs get sluggish and unresponsive. If anyone has any insight I would appreciate it.
In the past I have unattached the primary db, deleted the ldf file and reattached the the database and it recreates the ldf file. I know this is a dangerous practice, but it is the only one I am aware of. The MSP for the company will not touch it for some reason.
