You have a SQL Server 2014 database named DB1.
You plan to import a large number of records from a SQL Azure database to DB1.
You need to recommend a solution to minimize the amount of space used in the transaction log during the
import operation.
What should you include in the recommendation?
A.
The bulk-logged recovery model
B.
The full recovery model
C.
A new partitioned table
D.
A new log file
E.
A new file group
Explanation:
Compared to the full recovery model, which fully logs all transactions, the bulk-logged recovery model minimally
logs bulk operations, although fully logging other transactions. The bulk-logged recovery model protects against
media failure and, for bulk operations, provides the best performance and least log space usage.
Note:
The bulk-logged recovery model is a special-purpose recovery model that should be used only intermittently to
improve the performance of certain large-scale bulk operations, such as bulk imports of large amounts of data.
