Question : SQL Server 2005/SharePoint Logs getting too big

Hello experts:

The logs on a server we house is getting extremely large very quickly. Yesterday, we deleting and think we shut down WSS_Tracking log (SharePoint). Today, a SQL log is taking up more than half the computer's memory. The SQL log is an ldf file.

Anyway, first I think I want to disable all logs. Next, I would like to know what is causing this and how to fix it.

THANKS!

a ldf file is INTEGRAL to the operation of a database - you cannot disable it.
A log file will carry on expanding until it has reached it's set limit (or filled the disk, whichever comes sooner) if you are running the database in Full Recovery Mode, and have never backed up the database.

The log contains a record for every transaction performed (with some minor exceptions) - and is vital to keep if anything should happen to the database file (mdf).
