What caused SQLServer huge transaction log

One sharepoint database transaction log file and backup is getting huge, sharepoint admin turned off the auditing and other features and still having big tran log generated every day. I dig into it and found what is responsible:

Thanks to this:

SELECT

[Operation],

count(*) AS [No of Records],

SUM([Log Record Length]/1024.00/1024.00) AS [RecordSize (MB)]

FROM fn_dblog(NULL,NULL)

GROUP BY Operation

ORDER BY [RecordSize (MB)] DESC


so it's the LOP_shrink_noop that generated 7GB transaction log today since last backup, that's because the database auto shrink is set to true.

select name,is_auto_shrink_on, * FROM    sys.databases

Turn off the autoShrink fixed the problem.

If the cause is DML, you can find what table is it.

SELECT

       [Operation]

       ,SUM([Log Record Length]/1024.00/1024.00) AS [RecordSize (MB)]

        ,count(*) OperationCount

       ,[AllocUnitName]

       --,[Begin Time]

       --,[End Time]

       ,[Transaction Name]

       --,[Transaction SID]

       --,[Transaction Begin]

       --,[Number of Locks]

       --,[Lock Information]

       --,[Description]

       --,[Log Record]

FROM sys.fn_dblog(null,null)

--WHERE [Transaction ID] = '0000:00011043'

group by [Operation],[AllocUnitName],[Transaction Name]

order by SUM([Log Record Length]/1024.00/1024.00) desc

non-existent process lock port on windows server

I have a database link created between oracle and sqlserver using oracle tg4odbc, the product is installed on windows server and run as service "OracleOraGtw11g_home1TNSListener", but sometime the service cannot started, the root cause of this problem is that the port number 1521 is used by an non-existent process. The first step is to use netstat -bano|find "1521" to get the process id, in my case it's 5844, which shows the connection is from my oracle server 10.8.0.169 H:\>netstat -bano|find "1521"   TCP    0.0.0.0:1521           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       5844   TCP    10.14.45.33:1521       10.8.0.169:42987       ESTABLISHED     5844 however the process id does not show in either task manager or process explorer. The next step is to run tcpview, which shows non-existent under process column, there are three rows, two show status as "listening", the other one shows status "established", right click and k
