minimal logging insert statement on non clustered index table

  • I understand that minimal logging can occur on a non clustered indexed heap as long as

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190422(v=sql.105).aspx

    *not replicated

    *tablock is used

    *table is empty

    The following test seems to contradict this

    In the test I create a non indexed heap, insert some record and check the log, then repeat the test on an indexed heap.

    The results suggest that even though the conditions for minimal logging into a indexed heap are met, minimal logging is not happening although it does happen on an non indexed heap. What am I doing wrong?

    CREATE DATABASE logtest

    GO

    USE logtest

    GO

    CREATE TABLE test (field varchar(100))

    GO

    CHECKPOINT

    GO

    INSERT INTO logtest.dbo.test WITH (TABLOCK)

    SELECT TOP 100000 a.name

    FROM logtest.sys.columns a

    CROSS JOIN logtest.sys.columns b

    CROSS JOIN logtest.sys.columns c

    CROSS JOIN logtest.sys.columns d

    SELECT SUM([Log Record Length]) log_size,COUNT(*) record_count FROM fn_dblog(NULL, NULL)

    GO

    TRUNCATE TABLE test

    CREATE INDEX i ON test (field)

    GO

    CHECKPOINT

    GO

    INSERT INTO logtest.dbo.test WITH (TABLOCK)

    SELECT TOP 100000 a.name

    FROM logtest.sys.columns a

    CROSS JOIN logtest.sys.columns b

    CROSS JOIN logtest.sys.columns c

    CROSS JOIN logtest.sys.columns d

    SELECT SUM([Log Record Length]) log_size,COUNT(*) record_count FROM fn_dblog(NULL, NULL)

    GO

    USE master

    GO

    DROP DATABASE logtest
