Recovery model and Performance

  • I am going to install new SQL sever, and i had one question, which recovery model i should use to have best performance. My own answer is SIMPLE model. What about experts' opinion.

  • What type of performance u expect??

    If u want point in time recovery(if data is important) u have to use full recovery model..

    this will help u for sure

  • Recovery model has nothing to do with performance. Recovery model has to do with how the log is reused and how you restore the database in case of a failure.

    If you need to be able to restore to point-of-failure, then you need full recovery model and log backups. If it's acceptable to lose everything back to the last full backup, simple recovery is sufficient.
