SQL-Server-2008

I am testing bulk data uploading in SQL 2008.
For my DB, I want to remove my default (Primary) log file (.ldf) and want to add new one.

I have tried to remove it using DB->propertis->files->Remove option but its giving an error that can not remove primary log file.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Neal.

Hi,

I got good solution-

Anyone can try this.

CSS

USE CDCTest
GO
-- Truncate the log by changing the database recovery model to SIMPLE.
ALTER DATABASE CDCTest
SET RECOVERY SIMPLE;
GO
-- Shrink the truncated log file to 1 MB.
DBCC SHRINKFILE (CDCTest_Log, 1);
GO
-- Reset the database recovery model.
ALTER DATABASE CDCTest
SET RECOVERY FULL;
GO
