Is it good idea to change Simple Recover Model into Bulk-Logged on ETL system?

We are having an ETL process which inserts lots of data into tables. This database is set to Simple Recovery Model and the transaction log is growing a lot. I was thinking that would it help to set this database into Bulk-Logged Recovery Model? We are
taking full backups on daily basis. So is there some operations which are not logged in Bulk-Logged Recovery Model compared to Simple Recovery Model?

Hi bugarilenet,
Since this is SQL Azure database forum, so we need to verify if you want to change the recovery model on SQL Azure database. If yes, it will fail when change the recovery model to
Bulk-logged, or Simple from Full
model. In Windows Azure SQL database, the Recovery model is set when the master database is created and cannot be modified because the ‘master’ database is read only for anyone but Microsoft. For more information, see:
http://alexandrebrisebois.wordpress.com/2013/02/27/windows-azure-sql-database-cannot-be-set-to-simple-recovery-model/
In addition, if it is on premise SQL database, in simple and bull-logged recovery models some operations can be minimally logged, For example in Simple the older non-active transactions are overwritten when SQL reaches the end of the transaction log, however,in
bulk-logged and full you need to back up the older non-active transactions before the older records can be overwritten. There is more detail about Database Recovery Models in SQL Server, you can review this article.

  • Flashback: Might be a good idea to change password

    Here
    http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/06/widespread-computer-virus-indicates-mac -users-no-longer-safe/?ref=technology
    We see "The malware infects computers in one of two ways. In some cases, users receive a pop-up prompt purporting to be from Adobe Flash asking them to install an update and type in their password** - hence the Trojan’s name, “Fakeflash” or “Flashback.”
    Flashback: Might be a good idea to change password. Question is, if user enters password to get into Mac OS, why should they ever have to enter it again? In Windows, aside from login, password is never asked for.

    You don't go into the details as to why the account was suspended ... that background might be helpful since you're asking others for their opinion.  In general it sounds like the account was "deleted" at which point all mail is bounced because the address no longer exists -- but Verizon holds the name in reserve for some period of time to prevent someone from re-registering it in case an error was made and for some level of security, I suppose.
    Anyhow ... on your commentary about not using an @verizon.net address as your primary address ... I think you will have this with many providers.  Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail all do this if you terminate the account (they do have a suspended account due to inactivity feature which operates differently, but pretty much do the same thing for deletions and such.   I don't use the @verizon.net account as my primary for a different reason however -- my primary address is provider agnostic.   I can move providers (although I'm quite happy with FiOS at the moment) -or- if at some point down the road I have to move out of Verizon territory, my email address will not need to change.  I used this little fact to my advantage when I moved from Comcast to Verizon a few years ago -- no one knew I changed providers because my email address didn't change.   Now .. I don't use one of the free services for email, I own my own domain name (about $10/year from the likes of GoDaddy) and have my domain hosted on the Google Apps tier (but even without that, GoDaddy will do basic forwarding for you of any email address to whatever mail account you're presently using).    Something to think about.

  • How to enable logging of database changes of  Z tables into a log table.

    Dear Team,
    We have 8 Z tables and we need to log the changes in these tables. Earlier Change Document process was proposed but now we know that the possible changes in the Z tables will be many and this can cause too many entries in CDHDR and CDPOS tables. Going through so many entries of Change Document tables will decrease the system performance. The other option involves enabling the Log data base changes for the Z data base tables, but this will also cause the system to slow down as per SAP F1 help on "Log data changes" checkbox.
    description-"Note: Activating logging slows down accesses that change the table. First of all, a record must be written in the log table for each change. Secondly, many users access this log table in parallel. This could cause lock situations even though the users are working with different application tables."
    So we came to a solution where we can create a Z table and we will log the above mentioned Z table changes in the Z Change table but I have no idea how to implement the suggested solution. Please help me on this.
    Regards
    Amit

    Hi,
    Have a suggestion..
    Have custom fleld as LOG with char 1 and date field (sy-datum) in all the 8 ztables. The ztables are updated either through SM30 or from custom program, making sure who ever changes the record if manually then fill that flag field as 'X' and if by program then populate the field with value 'X'.So you will know based on the flag field whether changed or not.similarly for date field updatin as well.
    Now create a custom program to update the new ztable . Schedule this program daily may be at midnight..Read the 8 ztables with having flag = 'X' and update the new ztable. Once done clear the FLAG  from all the 8 ztables to space for that day and update the date field in the custom program.
    So for that particular day the records were written to new ztable and all the 8 ztables are having flag value as space and date will be sy-datum.
    Now for next day again do the same procedure.
    Hope this gives you an idea.

  • Build ATI driver for current Kernel. Good idea?

    Hi,
    I change to Arch after a long time in Ubuntu and Mint.
    My video card is an APU (CPU+GPU): AMD C-50/HD 6290. It's works fine in Arch with VLC and run videos in HD, but sometimes, the screen is cuted. Is it a good idea to build a amd driver to my kernel?
    My system is fully updated at the time.
    Arch Linux 32x XFCE

    I have a quite similar setup
    $ lspci
    00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Wrestler [Radeon HD 6320]
    (I have the E450 "APU")
    and my video performance is awesome! The only difference is, that I use mpv for videos rather than vlc. You could give it a try for testing purposes. So install mpv, it's in the repos, and try this config (path is ~/.mpv/config)
    vo=vdpau
    ao=alsa
    softvol=yes
    alang = en,de
    [vo.vdpau]
    hwdec = auto
    vf-clr=yes
    Then just run
    mpv /path/to/your/video/file
    Works perfectly for me, no issues whatsoever.
    So if the problems don't show with mpv, it looks like it's vlc's fault. If you run into the same problems, it might be caused by the video driver, the ffmpeg backend (both vlc and mpv use ffmpeg) or the video file itself. So do some experiments and hopefully you'll find out what's the culprit here.

  • Is using a taskbar icon in .exe combined with windows service a good idea as part of an alarm system?

    My client wants an alert system and his focus is on the taskbar.  He wants the icon to change, (and ideally even blink) and also to have some beeping when a new work request comes in.  It needs to run constantly, and grab the attention of an operator
    who may not be paying much attention to the screen.
    I’m excited to develop this, but after years of web development, I feel paralyzed.  I must be making this harder than it needs to be, but here’s my plan…  I'll start with a windows form, which will run minimized, and have an icon that looks like
    a hammer in the taskbar.  A timer would continually check for a new service requests.  When it sees one it would change the toolbar icon to a red x and sent a few dozen beeps out to the operator.  I think I need a windows service running that
    checks periodically to see if my windows exe is running.  If not, it should start it up.  Perhaps this could be a scheduled task, rather than a service.  
    Some of my questions are;
    How do I change the taskbar icon on the fly?
    Is this a good idea, or is there an easier way?
    Snippets of code or related articles are most welcome!
    Thanks!

    So I created a windows form and added a timer to check for unacknowledged requests.  If it finds any, it changes the icon on for the taskbar, and makes a beep.  Simple, but it works.  However, I'm having a beep of a time trying to figure out
    where to put the ico files so they are where they need when I publish it.  Others seem to suggest adding them using the properties of the application, under application / resources / Icon and manigest blah blah blah.  But I can only seem to add one
    there.  I need the three different ones.  I'm confused!  Any suggestions?
            private bool iconBig = true;
            private Icon redcross = new Icon("..\\NewRequest.ico");
            private Icon redcross2 = new Icon("..\\NewRequest2.ico");
            private Icon hammer = new Icon("..\\Hammer.ico");
     private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
                List<WorkRequest> myWorkRequests = WorkRequestData.WorkRequest_unAcknowledged();
                if (myWorkRequests.Count > 0)
                    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
                        SystemSounds.Beep.Play();
                        if (iconBig == true)
                            iconBig = false;
                            this.Icon = redcross;
                            this.Refresh();
                        else
                            iconBig = true;
                            this.Icon = redcross2;
                            this.Refresh();
                else
                    this.Icon = hammer;

  • Deploying Server Based Software-Good Idea?

    Hi,
    We need to deploy a variety of components to 200+ different sites around the country-about 120MB total. The software includes:
    1. A JDK
    2. An application server
    3. A web services server
    4. JDBC drivers
    5. Our wars/jars
    6. Configuration files, etc.
    We have always distributed by burning a CD and shipping it to each location. We have also considered sending out detailed instructions for downloading each component from the appropriate web site but this process is, as expected, prone to user error. Just finding the correct version of the JDK is too confusing for most of our customers. Things need to be simple.
    How about deployment via Web Start? Is it an appropriate use to load server software at a remote location?
    David

    Hi David,
    I've actually done some research in this area in terms of building a new product. IMHO, the answer is yes, this is a good idea, but no, tools designed to update client-side GUI applications (like Web Start or my company's DeployDirector) are not really appropriate in this case.
    The problem is not so much the initial install as it is the subsequent updates.
    The difficulty with updating a server application is that it's always running -- client-side applications are usually started and stopped, which creates a convenient time to update. For server-side applications, you'd need to have some way to ensure that you don't update while in the middle of a transaction, some way of handling users that are connected to the app, some way of queuing transactions until the update is complete, etc.
    Updating (and even the initially installing) remotely may be difficult due to security as well. Some companies may block you from getting anywere near the servers from a remote locations.
    There's also business issues; some places may be wary of having an external company change things on their systems. Some places have set times when they release new systems into production. There's also the issue of handling what happens if the update fails for some reason -- how do you track, diagnose and fix that remotely?
    Because this is your own product and your own customers, you may not encounter all these problems. But updating server software is a much messier issue than updating client software.
    OTOH, if the main thing you are worried about is the installing and configuring the software initially (i.e., no auto-updating) then you're probably best off with an installer package like InstallAnywhere. I think they have a way of letting your break up the download into smaller components and then handling all the configuration for you.

  • Roaming (ethernet connected base station) and wireless extended network at the same time. Good idea?

    I have a Time Capsule (6th gen.) which is my main base station. I also have a number of airport extremes around the house. I only use them in the client mode, i.e. they just join the network so that I can stream audio to devices connected to them.
    As I had bad reception in the garden, I installed my old dual-band airport extreme (4th gen) in the garden shed. All Apple articles I read on the topic convinced me that roaming (ethernet connected base station) is much better than wireless extending because you don't lose throughput. As I had no ethernet in the shed, I used two powerline adapters to bring ethernet there and I connected my airport extreme.
    Then I had to re-install all the airport expresses (as I had also changed the name of the network) and I noticed that the default option of the Airport utility is to make them extend the network wirelessly instead of just joining to it. I did not do it, but I am wondering. Is it a good idea? As they are in different rooms than the Time Capsule, of course the network there is not as strong as close to the Time Capsule. I still get "good enough" connection, but I will I have an improvement if I allow every Airport Express to extend the network as well? Or will I have problems with the throughput. My idea is not to do it and keep the net as simple as possible, i.e just extend it with roaming in the garden where I really need it and let the airport expresses in client mode.

    As usual AirPort Utility is trying to be clever. It is proposing what Apple thinks most people will want to do with it, and most of the time it succeeds.
    Having the Expresses "wirelessly extend" the Time Capsule's wireless network will increase your wireless network service area and should not introduce new problems. If that is not what you want to do though, you can certainly return to AirPort Utility and select "join a wireless network". It is a simpler configuration, and simpler is better for home wireless networks.
    Wireless > Network Mode > Join a wireless network.

  • Why does it take so long for microsoft to incorporate good ideas into programs, but then after they do no one elses software will work on the system?

    Case in point: I can not use Xp any longer since it is not supported by microsoft, and latest lan driver requires xp service packs which are no longer available for XP or Vista. So my old software as of April 2014 is now worthless as internet access software(microsoft
    will not provide support or service packs for xp). So I get a new pc with WIN7 op system installed and try to do traditional backups to protect myself should my system crash in the future. (usually this means cloning a hard drive or installing Faronics Deep
    Freeze to protect my op system in case of catastrophic failure.) I try to install and use some of these utility software types including Acronis Disk Director 12, Avanquest Perfect Image, Partition Commander 10, and others True Image Hdd utility for cloning
    hdds. Most of these I try to run turn out to be useless, and I get pop-up messages saying my software is incompatible with win 7 op sys! I am wondering if it is the software or the fact the op system is 64bit (not 32 bit) which means that if you buy any other
    software to help with utilities it will be worthless because most are written for 32 bit systems not 64. No one tells you these warning signs when you buy the pc with the 64 bit software already installed. But for a Toshiba 15" computer that normally
    costs 400$ and I can get it at Goodwill used computer store(1stStreet and Fairview in Santa Ana, Ca.) for 175$ I can not complain. Being an unemployed electronic technician, I have to stretch my dollars as far as they will go...Another frustrating thing is
    I buy this device made by Apricorn Driveware that allows users to hookup a second hdd using a usb cable and a three connector module that will allow the user to connect any hard drive sata or ide or the 3rd type. I try to run it and make a backup copy of internal
    hdd but I get error messages saying it can not copy hdds when there are minor differences such as total mbs on each drive or slightly different hardware issues such as my pc has 580 gb internal drive and replacement backup drive is 380gb. Such as shame because
    hardware setup is a good idea but without compatible software it is useless! Perhaps if I was using it on my old xp op systems I would have fewer problems with software compatibility issues. I really hate the fact that MS does not provide support for known
    good op systems like xp say 20yrs? When the products and markets change so fast they run the risk of alienating customers who can not financially keep up with technology changes especially during an economic depression such as the one we are in now( they predict
    it will last 20 yrs). a curious thing about the Acronis disk director 12 software I installed. It seemed I could not get partion size on hdd to change no matter what I did. I found out that if I CHANGED THE DATA BLOCK SIZE ON THE NTFS PARTITION FROM 4 KB TO
    2 KB THAT I WAS NO LONGER LIMITED BY THE SOFTWARE FROM SHRINKING THE HDD PARTITION FROM 300GB DOWN TO 100GB. Once this item was changed on the hard drives the Disk Director 12 software (Acronis) was able to shrink the partition size to what I wanted.

    Due to phenomenal development in Windows, Microsoft released 4 generations of operating systems, succeeding Windows XP. Hence, on various aspects, Windows XP becomes too old to be used practically these days. So the support was pulled out.
    I do agree that Windows XP is the most successful operating system ever, so far. But, later versions added more features, enhanced security and compatibility. Moreover, at this point, Windows XP becomes more vulnerable, although security patches are made.
    Ultimately, we need to move to a more secure, feature-rich and highly compatible operating system.
    With improved features in newer versions of Windows, the NTFS filesystem has also been improved, adding new features. Hence, certain feaures that are not availble in Windows XP are available in Windows 7, again, in Windows 8.1. So is the disk management
    features.
    As for Acronis Disk Director, it's a third party software and hence we can't comment on the features/its working.

  • Why did you take away my REFRESH button in FF 29? How can anyone with a clue decide it is a good idea to remove a BASIC feature like a REFRESH BUTTON?

    This is absolutely ridiculous. How can anyone think it is a GOOD IDEA to REMOVE basic features such as a REFRESH BUTTON from something called a WEB BROWSER?!
    No, I do not want to have to go all the way over to no-man's land on the right hand side of the address bar to click a tiny little refresh button over there! I want to put it where it ALWAYS has been on ALL my browsers. ON THE FREAKING LEFT next to the back button.
    The person who came up with idea should be fired.
    The person who approved this idea should be fired.
    The person who let the final build go out the door without including a simple and easy way to get the refresh button back as part of a "customize" feature should also be fired.
    None of these people have clue about what people want in a CUSTOMIZABLE web browser.
    No, I do not want to revert to some past "classic theme". That is not a solution That is ridiculous.
    No, I do not want the add-on bar restored. That is not a solution. Do not tell me that it is a solution.
    What I want, is a button, in the customize box, that is a refresh button, that I can put where I want it, like it should have been from the start!
    Fix it!

    That is not a solution.
    I want it fixed (like thousands of other people).
    I don't want to hack it up.. or use add-ons. I just want my damned refresh button back and I want it put it on the frickin left.
    I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more.

  • Hi guys i had been an iPhone 5 user for about 3 years and i have recently swapped over to a samsung s4 i dont know if this was a good idea any assistance or light in the right direction would be appreciated?

    Hi guys i had been an iPhone 5 user for about 3 years and i have recently swapped over to a samsung s4 i dont know if this was a good idea any assistance or light in the right direction would be appreciated?

    Sorry i correct myself i had been an iPhone user for about 3 years. My last Apple iPhone was an iPhone 5. I am getting used to things with the Samsung but really think the extra features such as smart stay and scroll are coverting humans into robots. The configuration of the features is also difficult as it detects your eye movement so if the movement is out of place even the slightest the feature will not function. I think the ios user interface is simple in comparison to the android user interface. Any views are appreciated? I have many friends also using HTC and prefer it in comparison to the iPhone and Galaxy but as raymond73 mentioned choice is a wonderful thing.

  • Why did Skype think it a good idea to get rid of Skype for Windows?

    I now have a useless application and an ugly window for desktop skype with a hulking advert at the top of it. It's hard to work with and clunky in general. What gave Microsoft/Skype the thought that forcing users to change would be a good idea? It really isn't it's a terrible idea!

    i'm concerned this change is to allow MS to market things to me better (I don't have a problem with that) but i'm wondering if they are in bed with the NSA to give the US gov access to any friends I have, what we say to each other, and if i'm pissed about something they (NSA) don't like. I'm looking at ooVoo as an alternative to Skype because of the encryption seems to be better and I can't find anything about ooVoo going to bed with the NSA. so far, ooVoo doesn't have the ability to change caller id, like Skype does to my cell phone. I'm wanting out of skype

  • Building pages to use dbms_scheduler like in OEM, is it a good idea?

    In OEM, there's already full featured web pages to administrate scheduler objects, sometimes, OEM is very heavy in load, during my first testing, it even make my db server hang, run out of swap. But I try to build a simple page to submit jobs using dbms_scheduler, it works file and quite light weighted.
    So is it a good idea to build scheduler administration pages in Apex? will it be like reinvent a wheel?

    This is what I am trying to do but have run into the 'insufficient privileges' problem. I am actually trying to give our users the ability to schedule some of the jobs associated with their application. I've been able to submit a job through Toad under the schema used by the application. But I'm not sure whether I need to grant the appropriate privileges to run the scheduler package to the flows schema as well. I have also been able to schedule the job through the SQL Workshop in the APEX application builder, but I can't do it through the application. Any suggestions?
