Question : Transaction log full-- insert into table1 select * from table2

I am getting transacation log full while inserting data into a table.
I used following command.
insert into table1
select * from table2.
Table2 is having 1700000 rows.
I want all the rows to be inserted into table1 from table2.
I don't want to log any thing. Is there any way/technique to escalate transaction log.

Please help ASAP.

thanks,

Answer : Transaction log full-- insert into table1 select * from table2

Following steps can be performed when you are getting 'transacation log full ' message.

First try to truncate the log with truncate_only option . If it fails then use NO_LOG option to clear the log.

Then:-
If you have more disk space then you can extend your log device space. More space will give less chance for log full.
(OR)
You can set database option to 'trunc log on chkpt' if the tran backup to disk /Tape is not important for you. 'trunc log on chkpt' database option will truncate all the tran log by having checkpoint on database.
(OR)
if you are not allowed to do above steps the Breake your insert transaction to batches.

good luck,
