Setting the database to SIMPLE recovery model will minimize the amount of logging doneWon't help here. Updates are fully logged in all recovery models. A single update uses the same amount of log space in simple or full recovery
Sorry, I thought there were multiple updates being done.
If a single update is blowing out your transaction log, then yea your only option is to break the update into batches of records.
