SQL 2005 transaction log

  • Hi:

    Is there a way to copy data from a table from a database to another table to another database without having to write to the transaction log.

    The data will be wiped out every night and is very big, so in this process need not do any transaction log, but do not know how to avoid that.

    Not sure the bulk copy is the right direction.

    Any suggestion and help mostly appreciate.

  • use bulk insert in combination with bulk logged recovery model

    Keep in mind changing the recovery model will affect your DRP !

  • Thank you, I will do some reseach on the DRP (recovery procedure ?)

    Can the database the table that need to copy to be a simple recovery and still use Bulk Insert and not involve using the transaction log, it help few things, it save time to write to logs and also take not space. many tables are big just need to cover some big selective data every night.

  • Hi

    You can use bulk insert on a database which is in simple recovery mode. Recovery models define how much the data can be recovered in case of disasters.

    Read up on these before making a decision.

  • Thank you, I will do that.

    Thx
