Full Recovery Model

  • Nice question,

    I learned this a fun way when I created a new database and hadn't checked my email for a few hours. Came back to a full inbox saying my transaction log backups had failed...every 10 minutes, until I did a full backup of the new database.

  • Interesting question that took some thought. Thanks for the explanation Hugo.

  • Makes sense...

  • Great back-to-basics question!

    I just wasn't too sure if SQL Server would allow the log backup to be made or not but Hugo's explanation was right to the point.

    Looks like there is a join predicate missing somewhere...

  • Thanks for the nice straightforward question and answer.

    <pedantry>

    The answer is of course wrong :-). You can take log backups after doing file backups, You never actually have to do a full backup. Of course any-one who doesn't start with a full backup is probably a nutcase (or worse :crazy:), but the system is actually designed to allow you to get away with file backups and log backups and no full backups :w00t:.

    </pedantry>

    Actually, I prefer the answer given to the pedantic one

  • I was looking for the trick question. I just wanted to go with my gut and click NO, but I thought MAYBE there was something that might make it possible. QOTD is making me paranoid πŸ™‚

    Easy one! (if you don't get paranoid!)
