I’m Sorry, I Can’t Let You Expand That Log File, Dave!

Thanks to all the wonderful people who attended my recent presentation on Transaction Log File Management at the Winnipeg SQL Server User Group Meeting! I had a lot of fun, and hope you found the presentation both enjoyable and informative.

I’m Sorry, I can’t let you Expand that Log File, Dave!

As promised, I’m making the presentation available for download here.
