Hi, I know just about nothing about SQL Server. I am getting this error:

The log file for database 'my_database' is full. Back up the transaction log
for the database to free up some log space.



I can't access the transaction logs to back them up. I am told that my ISP's
tech support should have it set up to shrink those logs automatically every
so often. Is that true?

Why are they needed? Up till Monday, the logs are just of our getting SQL
Server set up, so couldn't the logs just be deleted? Most of my site can't
run with this problem.

I'd appreciate any enlightenment anyone can give me!

Thanks, Jill
