I am performing a large insert followed by a large delete. I want to truncate the transaction log right after.

How to backup transaction log programatically (I believe this will truncate)?

Are dbcc shrinkfile and dbcc shrinkdatabase my only options?

I don't want to use shrink file, becuse the location of the file might (and will) change.

Shrink db is too much.
