I’m going to perform a lot of update / delete / insert operations on mssql server 2005/8
however , I want to speed those operations by NOT writing to the log files. ( ldf)
I believe this will imperove performnance( for my current case)
How can I open the DB without writing any data to the LDF ?
You can’t disable transaction logging for these operations. SQL Server always logs enough to rollback statements in the event of error or a crash.
All you can do is reduce it by choosing simple recovery model.
