There are several ways to keep log files small when using a database as a datawarehouse:

  1. Configure the database to run in simple recovery mode: In this mode, the database only logs the transactions that are currently in flight. Once they are committed, the log entries are discarded. This helps keep the log files small.

  2. Schedule regular backups: Regularly backing up the database can help truncate the log files and keep them from growing too large.

  3. Use partitioning: Partitioning the database can help distribute data across multiple smaller tables. This can help keep the log files smaller.

  4. Avoid unnecessary updates: Try to avoid unnecessary updates of the data in the database. This can reduce the number of transactions that are logged and help keep the log files smaller.

  5. Use compression: Some databases support compression of log files. This can help reduce their size and free up disk space.
