Database Virtual Log File count

  • Hi,

    I am using sql server 2008 r2 express.I heard virtual log file count may be the problem for server performance.I searched sometime but i didn't come up with optimum VLF count.Some says it depends.Can anyone please help me to find out optimum VLF count for my databases

    Thank you

  • As you said it depends. Sql itself creates VLFs and it determines the size. what we have to do is we have to keep this VLF count as small as possible.if there are lot of small size VLFs in your log file then it takes lot of time for backups and restores. this is what i know. please check books online for further information.

  • Hi

    If you maintain your log file on the best then you're close to the optimal number of VLFs. This link can help you http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/kimberly/8-steps-to-better-transaction-log-throughput/
