Log file is full

I am using Simple Recover model for my database

Initial size of log file is 1 MB and auto growth is set to by 10%, unrestricted growth.

auto shrink property is set TRUE

i m using SSIS package to copy some data from one table to another ( in same database)

my package fails saying "The log file for database 'WebInterfaceData' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space."

i dont see ne reason y it is fail as i have set up autogrowth to incease by 10%

FYI. there nothing to deal with SSIS as when I try to run simple SQL statement in Management studio it also fails complaining about same error after package execution

can ne one help me in this regard?

thanx

How large is the transaction log? Run the query below to find out:

SELECT name AS 'File Name' , physical_name AS 'Physical Name', size/128 AS 'Total Size in MB',
size/128.0 - CAST(FILEPROPERTY(name, 'SpaceUsed') AS int)/128.0 AS 'Available Space In MB', *
FROM sys.database_files;

It sounds like you might have some long running transaction that is not letting the log get checkpointed, so that it can be truncated.

Does the problem go away (for a while at least) if you stop and start SQL Server?

Obviously check the space on the disk that the logfile is on (I would assume that it is not full).

The other thing to watch out for is a disk quota of some description on the service account being used for SQL Server. This looks to SQL Server the same as a disk full error.

You might like to look in the logs for a System Error 112 (ERROR_DISK_FULL) which will be a symptom of either of these problems.

the result of query is that and max size is set to -1 (means no max size)

1 1 47312 -1 10 1081346 0 WebInterfaceData_Data D:\SQL\MSSQL\data\WebInterfaceData_Data.MDF

2 0 2560 -1 10 1081410 0 WebInterfaceData_Log D:\SQL\MSSQL\data\WebInterfaceData_Log.LDF

Plus there is no issue like disk space

thanx,

Anas
