We have the following scenario,
We have our Production server having database on which Few DTS packages execute every night. Most of them have Bulk Insert stored procedures running.
SO we have to set Recovery Model of the database to simple for that period of time, otherwise it will blow up our logs.
Is there any way we can set up log shipping between our production and standby server, but pause it for some time, set recovery model of primary db to simple, execute DTS Bulk Insert Jobs, Bring it Back to Full recovery Model AND finally bring back Log SHipping.
It it possible, if yes how can we achieve this.
If not what could be another DR solution in this scenario.
Thanks Much

We are using a .bat script to restore several client dbs onto our sql server 2000 db. We want to set the client dbs from full recovery to simple. What command should I use in the .bat file to make this change?
.bat file ==
:: Second, restore data from SQL Server backup file to SQL server...
isql -E -S ao3ao3 -Q "RESTORE DATABASE CBSN FROM DISK = 'D:MARS_SYSDATAUPDATESCBSNCBSN.BAK' WITH MOVE 'MEDISUN_BCNV_Data' TO 'D:SQLDATACBSN_data.mdf', MOVE 'MEDISUN_BCNV_Log' TO 'D:SQLDATACBSN_log.ldf',REPLACE;"
We have a fairly large database that we use to store mom alerts and it stopped alerting as it's transaction log became full. I suggested to the owner of the database to set the simple recovery model so the log could automatically be truncated. However, it appears that the database is frequently reaching it's limit (of 3gb) and I'm having to set the limit even higher on a daily basis. Can anyone tell me why this is occuring? I understood that when the log file reaches 70% it should automatically shrink?
Kind Regards

How can I get the information that who has changed my SQL database recovery model ?
View 5 Replies View RelatedDB replication can set db recovery model to simple ,why db mirror can not db recovery model to simple.
DB mirror must be set to full recovery model.
As far as I know, whatever db mirror and db replication ,there is a log reader to read the log in the ldf file DB mirror and DB replication are almost the same principle to replicate the db to another db server.
I have convert all databases to Full from Simple Recovery model.
As per documentation, it looks like simple.
Based on your experiences , do you think of any problem may come while doing this ?
Any impact on application performance after this ?
Is this work perferened to do when no body using system ?
Thanks
On SQL 2000 or SQL20005 will a database's log file automatically be truncated if the database is on simple recovery model?
The reason I ask is that we have a database (simple recovery) that keeps growing its logfile each weekend which causes disc space problems.
I am kinda new to SS but from the reading in BoL I've done was under the impression that for simple recovery model log records are only needed until the transaction has been written to disc and committed, and that SS will handle truncating obsolete records from the log where necessary.
I'm doing DBCC SQLPERF(logspace) which shows this first thing on a Monday morning:
Database Name Log Size (MB) Log Space Used (%)
-------------- --------------- ---------------------
myDB 4841.93 99.19465
Note the size of the log file - the data file is only 700MB!
Issuing a DBCC OPENTRAN doesn't show any open transactions, and a CHECKPOINT doesn't do anything to reduce the log space used (which if there were dirty records in the log still not written to disc this ought to do shouldn't it?).
The database is only written to as a replication subscriber.
Any suggestions what would be causing the log file to fill up?
At the moment I'm resorting to BACKUP LOG myDB WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY and considering scheduling this as an hourly job over the weekend - any reasons why this could be a bad idea?
Many thanks,
Moff
When I create a database, is there a way to make sure that the default recovery model is Full instead of Simple?

Hello,
I have a question regarding the backup for the database in Simple Recovery Model.
In this Model, I know we can restore only to the last full backup or can use differential
Backup, if implemented as a part of backup.
But my point of confusion is about the backup of '.ldf' file, should those file should be backed up in the
Maintenance Plan, if yes does it help in reducing the size of Log file?
Do we need the backup of '.ldf' in phase of Restoring?
As I mention my database has Simple Recovery Model, but the size of log file is around 20GB,
Could not understand why as in this Model, normally it automatically truncate the Log file?
Help me to clear my these doubts,
thanks,
My trancaction log is 25GB and my database file is 39GB. I justswitched to the 'Simple' recovery model from the 'Full' recovery model.When if ever can I expect the size of the transaction log to reduce insize? Is there anything else that I should do to aide with thereduction?Thanks,Peter
View 5 Replies View RelatedHave a database that's in "Simple" recovery mode whose .ldf has grown to 270GB. This database is a data warehouse so "full" is not required. I put it in simple mode a month ago and shrunk the log down and now it's filled up the disk.
What steps can I take to mitigate this in future? I've read that this is caused by long running transactions which fill the log for DR purposes. Should I put the database back into full mode and backup/truncate daily.
The auto-growth is set to 128MB which is very low.
One of our database is in simple recovery model, and usually generating more than 220 GB log file (.ldf) every week. We are shrinking log file many times to release the space.
But as its not advisable I am looking for any other options. I suggested to change the recovery model to Full and start T-log backup, but client dont want to change recovery model.
Is there any way to manage Log file of Simple recovery model to maintain disk space?
Will full backup truncate log file ?
We have a sql 2005 x64 database (datawarehouse related), essentially a work area for us, that we truncate and re-populate via BCP weekly. (We don't backup the database at all) . From the perspective of data-import speed what is the best recovery model to use: Bulk-Logged or Simple? (I have read sql 2005 BOL and don't find it partcularly clear on this point.)

P.S. Anyone know of an article listing "best practices" for high-speed data import?
Is this Possible, If database is in Simple recovery Mode and the ldf size gets increased?? .
mdf size : 159 GB (171,383,717,888 bytes)
ldf size : 6.46 GB (6,945,505,280 bytes).
My question is if the recovery model is in Simple Mode then why the log gets generated high.
dbcc sqlperf(logspace) --output
DATABASE Logsize(MB) Log space used(%) status
mam 6623.742

Is there any issue or it is Normal.
My understanding is that the log file is not supposed to grow if the database is under simple recovery mode.I am in a situation where the log grows if do any inserts that involve millions of rows.How do i make sure that it does not grow?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI moved my projects off of the C drive and onto a larger drive a few months back. I discovered recently, like a lot of us have unfortunatly in the past, that we are not pulling a backup of the drive I put the projects on. While going back through some old stuff on the C drive, I deleted a project inside the old Projects folder. This was a mistake because it was a project that is in use. The report still runs fine, but when I went to edit one of the reports in the project, much to my dismay, the project could not be found. I have a txt file of every SQL script that I wrote to create these reports, but am wondering if there is any way to salvage the reports from somewhere on the system so I don;t have to rebuild them?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a table with about half a million records, each representing a patient in my county.
Each record has a field (RRank) which basically sorts the patients as to how "unwell" they are according to a previously-applied algorithm. The most unwell patient has an RRank of 1, the next-most unwell has RRank=2 etc.
I have just deleted several hundred records (which relate to patients now deceased) from the table, thereby leaving gaps in the RRank sequence. I want to renumber the remaining recs to get rid of the gaps.
I can see what I want to accomplish by using ROW_NUMBER, thus:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() Over (ORDER BY RRank) as RecNumber, RRank
FROM RPL
ORDER BY RRank
I see the numbers in the RecNumber column falling behind the RRank as I scan down the results
My question is: How to convert this into an UPDATE statement? I had hoped that I could do something like:
UPDATE RISC_PatientList_TEMP
SET RRank = ROW_NUMBER() Over (ORDER BY RRank);
but the system informs that window functions will only work on SELECT (which UPDATE isn't) or ORDER BY (which I can't legally add).
I've got log shipping set up, and everything seems to be working fine, but the log files are not being deleted from the primary server despite configuring log shipping to retain them for 3 days. I see no errors concerning the log shipping, but did not configure a monitor. What process is responsible for deleting the older log backups, and how can I look for errors. I could simply set up a jog to delete the older files, but that will only mask the issue.

View 15 Replies View RelatedSQL Server 2000 SP3.
Prior to SP3 the recovery model was switched to simple during transfer (Copy object task) and changed back to the previouis setting after DTS was complete.
Nice thing because performance was increased and T-Log was keep small.
Now I assume that the recovery model is switched to bulk-logged causing the T-Log to explode, to be onest not in all my databases.
1.Is my interpretation regarding recovery model correct?
2.Does anybody knows the reason of this change?
Any suggestion is really appreciate.
Thank you very much - kind regards.
Hello,
I'm new to MS SQL Server I want to know which recovery model is good, Full or Bulk Logged as I'm doing full backup at 11:00 PM and diffential Backup at 12:30 PM and from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM 15 min log backups.
Please guide me which recovery model should I choose.

What would be the best Recovery Model for: a database which is 4 gig in size and imports via MSAccess queries and also stored procedures approximately 400,000 meg of data each month (and some other update queries are run against it) and it is also queried off of for totals on weekly basis?
The problem is that the SQL Server box only has 512 meg of memory and the tranlog on this database grows tremendously each import and when update queries are run against it. This tends to slow things down a bit on our other databases. We are getting a new SQL Server box but until then, what would be the best recovery model? I currently have it as Bulk-Logged and allow the tranlog to grow by 10% (with a base of 250 meg). The tranlog grows to up to 5-10 gig and in order to shrink it, I have to change the recovery model to Simple, and then back to Bulk-Logged in order to shrink it (I've tried all the dbcc shrinkdatabase, dbcc shrinkfile, dbcc showcontig, and dbcc checkdb commands as well as BACKUP LOG dbName WITH TRUNCACTE_ONLY and nothing will shrink it unless I change the recovery model to simple.)
I can't understand what is diff between simple & bulk-logged recovery

Hello, everyone:
There are some explanations on this topic from books and BOL. Could you offer the real experience? Thanks.

does the recovery model also change in a replication enviroment when you change a database from simple to full?

Hello,I've follow problem - thing to consider.SQLServer 200 sp3a, ms win 2003 serverdb simple recoveryThere is a production database, wich is around 20gb big. Db is backedup each day completely, but it takes up to 30 minutes.Because there is a simple recovery model, there is no transaction logbackup (it fails anyway), and we do not have up-to-point recovery.I'm considering to switch to full recovery model, but ....The problem is, I do not want to affect performance (when the backup isrunning, database is hardly avalible).So my question will be: does the full recovery model, will be betterfor db performance (for acces and blocking db; means, does it will takeshorter?)Strategy will be (I hope ok) to back up during the week onlytransaction log (incremental), and once at the weekend, full databasebackup.Generaly, which one is better for performance?Which strategy will be the best, to keep performance at high level, butalso have the possibility to restore data (in case of emergency) fromthe newest possible backup.Thanks for helpMatik

What is the relationship between recovery model and transaction log? How does recovery model affect txn log file size?
How to decide which model should I use?
Thank you
In SQL 2005, sys.databases has a column named recovery_model that stores a code for the type of recovery model used by the database. Where is the recovery_model column in the SQL 2000 master database?

I cannot think of any reason, in our environment, why I would recover the model database. Change framework has all databases coming from DEV & QA before landing on PROD. We have never used the model database as framework of new databases either.
So, if I discontinued backup of the database, what is my recovery method if it become corrupt? Since mine is not used, can I simply copy it from another server?
