Just curious, is there a reason why you want to add another log file? What are you attempting to solve? Here's an example of how to accomplish this: USE master; GO ALTER DATABASE [DatabaseNameHere] ADD LOG FILE ( NAME = test1log2, FILENAME = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\test2log.ldf', SIZE = 5MB, MAXSIZE = 100MB, FILEGROWTH = 5MB ) GO The above was borrowed from: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb522469.aspx Hope this helps!

Yes, you should be able to add it in flight, however I would recommend testing this before putting it into production.
