Troubleshoot a full transaction log (SQL Server Error 9002)

Applies to: SQL Server

This article applies to SQL Server instances.

Note

This article is focused on SQL Server. For more specific information on this error in Azure SQL platforms, see Troubleshooting transaction log errors with Azure SQL Database and Troubleshooting transaction log errors with Azure SQL Managed Instance. Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance are based on the latest stable version of the Microsoft SQL Server database engine, so much of the content is similar though troubleshooting options and tools might differ.

Option 1: Run the steps directly in an executable notebook via Azure Data Studio

Note

Before attempting to open this notebook, check that Azure Data Studio is installed on your local machine. To install, go to Learn how to install Azure Data Studio.

Option 2: Follow the step manually

This article discusses possible responses to a full transaction log and suggests how to avoid it in the future.

When the transaction log becomes full, SQL Server Database Engine issues a 9002 error. The log can fill when the database is online, or in recovery. If the log fills while the database is online, the database remains online but can only be read, not updated. If the log fills during recovery, the Database Engine marks the database as RESOURCE PENDING. In either case, user action is required to make log space available.

Common reasons for a full transaction log

The appropriate response to a full transaction log depends on what conditions caused the log to fill. Common causes include:

  • Log not being truncated
  • Disk volume is full
  • Log size is set to a fixed maximum value or autogrow is disabled
  • Replication or availability group synchronization that is unable to complete

How to resolve a full transaction log

The following specific steps help you find the reason for a full transaction log and resolve the issue.

1. Truncate the Log

A very common solution to this problem is to ensure transaction log backups are performed for your database, which ensures the log is truncated. If no recent transaction log history is indicated for the database with a full transaction log, the solution to the problem is straightforward: resume regular transaction log backups of the database.

For more information, review Manage log size and Shrink a file.

Log truncation explained

There's a difference between truncating a transaction log and shrinking a transaction log. Log truncation occurs normally during a transaction log backup, and is a logical operation that removes committed records inside the log, whereas log shrinking reclaims physical space on the file system by reducing the file size. Log truncation occurs on a virtual-log-file (VLF) boundary, and a log file might contain many VLFs. A log file can be shrunk only if there's empty space inside the log file to reclaim. Shrinking a log file alone can't solve the problem of a full log file. Instead, you must discover why the log file is full and can't be truncated.

Warning

Data that is moved to shrink a file can be scattered to any available location in the file. This causes index fragmentation and might slow the performance of queries that search a range of the index. To eliminate the fragmentation, consider rebuilding the indexes on the file after shrinking. For more information, see Shrink a database.

What is preventing log truncation?

To discover what is preventing log truncation in a given case, use the log_reuse_wait and log_reuse_wait_desc columns of the sys.databases catalog view. For more information, see sys.databases (Transact-SQL). For descriptions of factors that can delay log truncation, see The Transaction Log (SQL Server).

The following set of T-SQL commands helps you identify if a database transaction log isn't truncated and the reason for it. The following script also recommends steps to resolve the issue:

Important

If the database was in recovery when the 9002 error occurred, after resolving the problem, recover the database by using ALTER DATABASE database_name SET ONLINE.

LOG_BACKUP log_reuse_wait

The most common action to consider if you see LOG_BACKUP or log_reuse_wait is to review your database recovery model, and back up the transaction log of your database.

Consider the database's recovery model

The transaction log might be failing to truncate with LOG_BACKUP log_reuse_wait category, because you have never backed it up. In many of those cases, your database is using the FULL or BULK_LOGGED recovery model, but you didn't back up your transaction log. You should consider each database recovery model carefully: perform regular transaction log backups on all databases in FULL or BULK LOGGED recovery models, to minimize occurrences of error 9002. For more information, see Recovery models.

Back up the log

Under the FULL or BULK_LOGGED recovery model, if the transaction log hasn't been backed up recently, the backup might be what is preventing log truncation. You must back up the transaction log to allow log records to be released and the log truncated. If the log has never been backed up, you must create two log backups to permit the Database Engine to truncate the log to the point of the last backup. Truncating the log frees logical space for new log records. To keep the log from filling up again, take log backups regularly and more frequently. For more information, see Recovery models.

A complete history of all SQL Server backup and restore operations on a server instance is stored in the msdb system database. To review the complete backup history of a database, use the following sample script:

SELECT bs.database_name
, backuptype = CASE
    WHEN bs.type = 'D' and bs.is_copy_only = 0 THEN 'Full Database'
    WHEN bs.type = 'D' and bs.is_copy_only = 1 THEN 'Full Copy-Only Database'
    WHEN bs.type = 'I' THEN 'Differential database backup'
    WHEN bs.type = 'L' THEN 'Transaction Log'
    WHEN bs.type = 'F' THEN 'File or filegroup'
    WHEN bs.type = 'G' THEN 'Differential file'
    WHEN bs.type = 'P' THEN 'Partial'
    WHEN bs.type = 'Q' THEN 'Differential partial' END + ' Backup'
, bs.recovery_model
, BackupStartDate = bs.Backup_Start_Date
, BackupFinishDate = bs.Backup_Finish_Date
, LatestBackupLocation = bf.physical_device_name
, backup_size_mb = bs.backup_size/1024./1024.
, compressed_backup_size_mb = bs.compressed_backup_size/1024./1024.
, database_backup_lsn -- For tlog and differential backups, this is the checkpoint_lsn of the FULL backup it is based on.
, checkpoint_lsn
, begins_log_chain
FROM msdb.dbo.backupset AS bs
LEFT OUTER JOIN msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily AS bf ON bs.[media_set_id] = bf.[media_set_id]
WHERE recovery_model in ('FULL', 'BULK-LOGGED')
AND bs.backup_start_date > DATEADD(month, -2, sysdatetime()) --only look at last two months
ORDER BY bs.database_name asc, bs.Backup_Start_Date desc;

A complete history of all SQL Server backup and restore operations on a server instance is stored in the msdb system database. For more information on backup history, see Backup History and Header Information (SQL Server).

Create a transaction log backup

Example of how to back up the log:

BACKUP LOG [dbname] TO DISK = 'some_volume:\some_folder\dbname_LOG.trn'

Important

If the database is damaged, see Tail-Log Backups (SQL Server).

ACTIVE_TRANSACTION log_reuse_wait

The steps to troubleshoot ACTIVE_TRANSACTION reason include discovering the long running transaction and resolving it (in some case using the KILL command to do so).

Discover long-running transactions

A very long-running transaction can cause the transaction log to fill. To look for long-running transactions, use one of the following:

This dynamic management view returns information about transactions at the database level. For a long-running transaction, columns of particular interest include the time of the first log record (database_transaction_begin_time), the current state of the transaction (database_transaction_state), and the log sequence number (LSN) of the BEGIN record in the transaction log (database_transaction_begin_lsn).

  • DBCC OPENTRAN. This statement lets you identify the user ID of the owner of the transaction, so you can potentially track down the source of the transaction for a more orderly termination (committing it rather than rolling it back).
Kill a transaction

Sometimes you just have to end the transaction; you might have to use the KILL statement. Use the KILL statement with extreme caution, especially when critical processes are running that you don't want to end.

CHECKPOINT log_reuse_wait

No checkpoint has occurred since the last log truncation, or the head of the log hasn't yet moved beyond a virtual log file (VLF). (All recovery models)

This is a routine reason for delaying log truncation. If delayed, consider executing the CHECKPOINT command on the database or examining the log VLFs.

USE dbname; CHECKPOINT
select * from sys.dm_db_log_info(db_id('dbname'))

AVAILABILITY_REPLICA log_reuse_wait

When transaction changes at the primary Always On availability group replica aren't yet hardened on the secondary replica, the primary replica transaction log can't be truncated. This can cause the log to grow, and occurs whether the secondary replica is set for synchronous or asynchronous commit mode. For information on how to troubleshoot this type of issue see Error 9002. The transaction log for database is full due to AVAILABILITY_REPLICA error.

Replication, change tracking, or CDC

Features such as replication, change tracking, and change data capture (CDC) rely on the transaction log, so if transactions or changes aren't delivered, it can prevent the transaction log from truncating.

Use DBCC OPENTRAN, Replication Monitor, or stored procedures for change tracking and CDC to investigate and resolve any issues with these features.

For more information on log_reuse_wait factors

For more details, see Factors that can delay log truncation.

2. Resolve full disk volume

In some situations, the disk volume that hosts the transaction log file might fill up. You can take one of the following actions to resolve the log-full scenario that results from a full disk:

Free disk space

You might be able to free disk space on the disk drive that contains the transaction log file for the database by deleting or moving other files. The freed disk space allows the recovery system to enlarge the log file automatically.

Move the log file to a different disk

If you can't free enough disk space on the drive that currently contains the log file, consider moving the file to another drive with sufficient space.

Important

Log files should never be placed on compressed file systems.

See Move Database Files for information on how to change the location of a log file.

Add a log file on a different disk

Add a new log file to the database on a different disk that has sufficient space by using ALTER DATABASE <database_name> ADD LOG FILE. Multiple log files for a single database should be considered a temporary condition to resolve a space issue, not a long-term condition. Most databases should only have one transaction log file. Continue to investigate the reason why the transaction log is full and can't be truncated. Consider adding temporary additional transaction log files only as an advanced troubleshooting step.

For more information, see Add Data or Log Files to a Database.

These steps can be partly automated by running the following T-SQL script to identify logs files that use a large percentage of disk space and suggest actions:

DECLARE @log_reached_disk_size BIT = 0

    physical_name,

Error 9002 can be generated if the transaction log size has been set to an upper limit or the autogrow feature isn't allowed. In this case, enabling autogrow or increasing the log size manually can help resolve the issue. Use this T-SQL command to find such log files and follow the recommendations provided:

Increase log file size or enable Autogrow

If space is available on the log disk, you can increase the size of the log file. The maximum size for log files is 2 terabytes (TB) per log file.

If autogrow is disabled, the database is online, and sufficient space is available on the disk, consider taking the following steps:

Note

In either case, if the current size limit has been reached, increase the MAXSIZE value.
