Joe , I think you are thinking about ALTER DATABASE CLEAR LOGFILE ; command . There is some catch to it . The execrpt from OManual " Do not use CLEAR LOGFILE to clear a log needed for media recovery. If it is necessary to clear a log containing redo after the database checkpoint, you must first perform incomplete media recovery. The current redo log of an open thread can be cleared. The current log of a closed thread can be cleared by switching logs in the closed thread.
