Nakul Vachhrajani (2/15/2011) I had to refer BOL for this one because we don't use Bulk-logged mode. Sadly, my BOL diving didn't go deep enough. I got to here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189275(SQL.100).aspx, which states twice that it's not supported - you have to go a bit further to find where it says that it is.

Having not used Bulk options, I managed to do enough digging to find out it was a conditional yes, just chose the wrong one. Thought you would be okay as long as there was no bulk operations since last full backup.
I guess not

You would indeed be ok, but the answer said "Yes, but only if.." which I intended to mean that if there had been no bulk operations since the last full backup you would be ok, but otherwise not.
I was thinking of a situation where you might have multiple log backups since the last full backup, several of which might contain bulk operations. As long as the log backup you want to restore to a point in time with doesn't have any, you can restore to that particular point in time. Of course, if none of them have any bulk operations in them you can use any of them to restore to a point in time.
I apologise for any confusion caused - but as you can imagine, wording something to be completely unambiguous is not as easy as it seems!
Thanks for the feedback
Duncan

| It's a good question, but maybe next time you should take a notice: using Server 2005 and above.

palotaiarpad (2/16/2011) It's a good question, but maybe next time you should take a notice: using Server 2005 and above.
The question is valid equally for SQL Server 2000/2005/2008. I'm not sure if the exact STOPAT syntax was available in SQL Server 7 (point-in-time recovery was, so I assume yes?), but in any case there was no BULK_LOGGED recovery model as such. Instead there was the db option "select into/bulkcopy" which could be set to "ON/TRUE" to achieve the same effect. However, since the question refered to bulk-logged and recovery models it could be assumed that it related to SQL 2000 and later.
Cheers,
Duncan
