    Will the transaction logs be rotated if there is a SQL server restart

    What do you mean by 'rotated'?

    Restart won't do anything to the database transaction logs, they'll be read when the server restarts in order to do restart recovery, but a shutdown doesn't truncate them or anything.

    It looks like you are comparing transaction logs with redo logs of oracle.

    They are completely different in the concept.

    Its only 1 log file available in SQL Server.

    Hope this helps!
