The following table describes the values of these columns. Minimal logging involves logging only the information that is required to recover the transaction without supporting point-in-time recovery. This topic identifies the operations that are minimally logged under the bulk-logged recovery model as well as under the simple recovery model, except when a backup is running.
Under the full recovery model , all bulk operations are fully logged. However, you can minimize logging for a set of bulk operations by switching the database to the bulk-logged recovery model temporarily for bulk operations. Minimal logging is more efficient than full logging, and it reduces the possibility of a large-scale bulk operation filling the available transaction log space during a bulk transaction.
However, if the database is damaged or lost when minimal logging is in effect, you cannot recover the database to the point of failure. The following operations, which are fully logged under the full recovery model, are minimally logged under the simple and bulk-logged recovery model:. Partial updates to large value data types, using the.
Note that minimal logging is not used when existing values are updated. If the database is set to the simple or bulk-logged recovery model, some index DDL operations are minimally logged whether the operation is executed offline or online. The minimally logged index operations are as follows:. Index build operations use minimial logging but may be delayed when there is a concurrently executing backup.
This delay is caused by the synchronization requirements of minimally logged buffer pool pages when using the simple or bulk-logged recovery model.

Warning Never delete or move this log unless you fully understand the ramifications of doing so. Tip Known good points from which to begin applying transaction logs during database recovery are created by checkpoints.
Note Log truncation does not reduce the size of the physical log file. Note Under the full recovery model , all bulk operations are fully logged. And it becomes difficult to analyze or examine who is the culprit manually.
As a result, the Organizations run into big trouble. In short, with SQL Log file, it becomes easy to find out which query performed on which table at what time.
Here, we are going to answer how to view log file of SQL Server by using various workarounds. In the following section, you will understand how to open, check and read transaction file to retrieve information about the data which had been altered.
Basically, this method exclusively used to open and view the information about following logs in SSMS:. In fact, one can open the Log File Viewer wizard in different ways on the basis of information that you want to check. A table can then be created specifically on the filegroup fgroup1. Queries for data from the table will be spread across the three disks; it will improve performance. The same performance improvement can be accomplished by using a single file created on a RAID redundant array of independent disks stripe set.
However, files and filegroups let you easily add new files to new disks. When objects are created in the database without specifying which filegroup they belong to, they are assigned to the default filegroup. At any time, exactly one filegroup is designated as the default filegroup. The files in the default filegroup must be large enough to hold any new objects not allocated to other filegroups.
For more information on memory-optimized filegroups, see Memory Optimized Filegroup. The following example creates a database on an instance of SQL Server. The database has a primary data file, a user-defined filegroup, and a log file. The primary data file is in the primary filegroup and the user-defined filegroup has two secondary data files.
A table is then created specifying the user-defined filegroup. The following illustration summarizes the results of the previous example except for the Filestream data. Filegroups use a proportional fill strategy across all the files within each filegroup. As data is written to the filegroup, the SQL Server Database Engine writes an amount proportional to the free space in the file to each file within the filegroup, instead of writing all the data to the first file until full. It then writes to the next file.
For example, if file f1 has MB free and file f2 has MB free, one extent is given from file f1, two extents from file f2, and so on. In this way, both files become full at about the same time, and simple striping is achieved.
For example, a filegroup is made up of three files, all set to automatically grow. When space in all the files in the filegroup is exhausted, only the first file is expanded. When the first file is full and no more data can be written to the filegroup, the second file is expanded.
For information, see Factors that can delay log truncation. When a transaction log file is shrunk, inactive VLFs are removed from the end of the log file to reduce the log to approximately the target size. Before shrinking the transaction log, keep in mind Factors that can delay log truncation. If the storage space is required again after a log shrink, the transaction log will grow again and by doing that, introduce performance overhead during log growth operations.
For more information, see the Recommendations in this topic. Shrink a File. You can gain space by enlarging the existing log file if disk space permits or by adding a log file to the database, typically on a different disk. One transaction log file is sufficient unless log space is running out, and disk space is also running out on the volume that holds the log file. Restarting a server instance resizes the transaction log of the tempdb database to its original, pre-autogrow size.
This can reduce the performance of the tempdb transaction log. You can avoid this overhead by increasing the size of the tempdb transaction log after starting or restarting the server instance.
