Log Files in SQL 2000

  1. Log Files in SQL 2000

    What happens when the max size of the log file less than transaction size?

    I have configured transaction log backups to take place every 10 mins.
    Corect me if I am wrong, the log file relinquishes space after transaction
    log was backed up. What happens if transaction log file runs out of space?
    (do the transaction log backups continue... and free up space ?)

    Thanks in advance

    If autogrow has been enabled, the log file will expand to allow the
    transaction records to be written to the log file. If autogrow is not
    enabled, errors will be raised once the log file is full.
