SQL Server Transaction log

Question:
Is there a way to turn off the transaction log while importing data? We are having a problem with a 1105 error.

Answer:
You cannot turn the transaction log on or off. What you can do is set the database option of “select into / bulk copy.” This allows the non-logged (and faster) version of bulk copy to run. Afterwards, however, you must do a full backup, because the transaction log no longer has all the changes.
