kind of Transaction log shipping

  • Just restore the transaction logs "WITH STANDBY" instead of "WITH NORECOVERY" and you will be able to query the secondary database.

    Restores take longer using WITH STANDBY, as SQL Server has to roll back any uncomitted transactions. If you just want to check things out, pause your restore job, restore one log WITH STANDBY, query the secondary database for whatever you want, then re-enable the restore job.

  • i am applying log backups with NO RECOVERY

    that WITH STANDBY is not going to break the following restorations???

  • Nope, putting the database into STANDBY won't break the log chain... you can switch between the 2 whenever you want.

  • thank you very much quick clarification..

    I will try it out and post the update..:-)
