  • Is it important if your database is set as "Truncate log on checkpoint". what is i want to set a checkpoint every let say.... 30 sec? any is it possible to make a job schedule that only has a CHECKPOINT script or are there any way of using CHECKPOINT in every 30 sec? can anyone enlighten me thanks a lot

  • If you want to be able to perform a point in time recovery, you NEED your database to be in bulk- or full recovery mode !

    Having your db in simple mode (truncate log on checkpoint) means you'll only be able to perform full restores and add differential backup.

    SQLServer manages checkpoint frequency itself. There should be no need to schedule checkpoints yourself.

    A checkpoint is a system command and defers to a commit.

    During a checkpoint all data is forced to be writen from memory to disk. Writing is normaly performd by lazy writes, also managed by sqlserver itself.

    Determine your backup strategy ! Check BOL for more info.

  • How frequent does this CHECKPOINT occur?

  • Since SQLServer manages that frequency itself, there is no exact number.

    Search Books Online for Checkpoint info.
