restore

  • what is the difference between stanby,recovery,norecovery options when doing restore.

  • recovery bring the database online and allows full database activity.

    norecovery leaves the database in a restoring state ready for the next backup file to be applied (nobody can connect in this state)

    Standy puts the database in a read only state and is normally seen in this state during a log shipping scenario.

    Why do you ask? do you have a specific problem or is just a general knowledge question?

  • Please refer to SQL Server BOL

    or

  • standby:database is in stand by mode means only read purpose available for selection.generally this state is kept for logshipping.DML commands doesnt work in this mode..

    norecovery:the database is looking for additional backups while restore it means u can add additional backups to database online from point of failure.mirroring we keep database in a no recovery(restoring mode).

    database becomes non-operational

    recovery: database is in online mode,operational mode,not possible to apply furthur backups
