Explanation:
Shrinking a log file to a specified target size
The following example shrinks the log file in the AdventureWorks database to 1 MB. To allow the DBCC SHRINKFILE command to shrink the file, the file is first truncated by setting the database recovery model to SIMPLE.
Transact-SQL
USE AdventureWorks2012;
GO
-- Truncate the log by changing the database recovery model to SIMPLE.
ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2012
SET RECOVERY SIMPLE;
GO
-- Shrink the truncated log file to 1 MB.
DBCC SHRINKFILE (AdventureWorks2012_Log, 1);
GO
-- Reset the database recovery model.
ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2012
SET RECOVERY FULL;
GO
