The database should meet the following conditions in the full SQL Server Recovery Model:
The database is behaving as a simple recovery model in which it truncates the logs after the transaction. Nothing shows that the database does not require log backups to truncate the logs. In the following screenshot, we can see a full recovery model, but log_reuse_wait_desc shows NOTHING. We will get to know this recovery model in the latter part of the article. You might wonder that initially, we mentioned only three recovery models, but as per the name, it looks like a different recovery model. You can refer article Understanding SQL Server database recovery models for detailed information about the recovery models. We cannot do point in time recovery in this as it does not supports log backups
It works similar to a full recovery model and supports all available backups except that we cannot have a point in time recovery for the database in this recovery model Bulk-logged: It logs minimum log information for the bulk transactions such as BCP, CREATETEXT, and WRITETEXT.It supports available backups such as full, log, differential Full: We can perform point-in-time recovery and recover data without any data loss.We have the following three recovery models for a SQL database.
Recovery model property in the SQL Server database controls the transactions logging, supported backup types and database recovery scenarios such as point-in-time recovery. It also explores the conditions in which the database behaves in Pseudo mode.
#Apex sql recovery key license#
The folks at ApexSQL were kind enough to provide for me a free license for their suite of tools in exchange for writing up a review about the product.This article gives an overview of the Pseudo Simple SQL Server Recovery Model. I’ve put together a short demo of my test of the product I hope you enjoy and please check out for more information on their products. Over all it is a good product, easy to use, easy to learn, and could be useful for people looking to audit transactions going on in their system and potentially recovering lost data. I’ve detailed this in the video if you’re interested in learning more about this. You have to right click on the grid and select those options. When you click on the “Create undo script” or “Create redo script” buttons on the top (ribbon?) tool bar it creates the script for EVERYTHING not just your selection. There is one thing that was quite confusing and I go over it in detail in the video below. At first, I thought that I could only see the logging information in the active T-Log, but after doing multiple T-Log backups and refreshing my session, I was able to cycle through the backups to see my transactions. The product easily displays the DML and DDL commands issued on a particular database over a specific time period, or over the entire active T-Log as well as T-Log backups. I cannot imagine doing this manually, it would seem to be very difficult to be honest. My over all impressions of the product is that is it very unique and could be extremely useful to people looking to see changes to tables via the transaction log (T-Log). It’s always great to have a product with an easy to use interface that does not have a steep learning curve. It took me about 30 minutes to get fully acquainted with it although I’m not an expert now I know my way around the product very well. I opted to do everything myself just to see how easy it is to learn and use the product. The team at ApexSQL were very friendly and offered me lots of support and help in using the product. Today I will be reviewing the product ApexSQL Log which is a tool designed for Transaction Log discovery and recovery.
