In a blog i read that SIMPLE recovery mode can cause high recovery interval since its not possible to take log backups and taking frequent log backup will reduce the recovery time is that true??
No, as I said earlier, Simple recovery model is not in any way the cause of high recovery time. Log backups have nothing to do with recovery time. Recovery models have nothing to do with recovery time. Recovery time is a factor of the amount of operations that need to roll back (not committed) and the number of operations that have to roll forward (committed but not hardened to the data file). Neither of those is affected by recovery model.
