Answer 1

The transaction log file, used by the database to record changes to the data, and subsequently recover the database in the event of media failure, is full. This means that the database cannot allow further changes to the database.



The transaction log must be backd up and the space freed for new transactions.



You need to contact the System Administrator.

Answer 2

Assuming that you are on a PC connected to an SQL server that houses a database called PWForums, your application, called Forums, is telling you that you have a server error. The rest is for the System Administrator to figure out. Being a system administrator myself, I would be glad to see all this detail.

Answer 3

sorry - nope
