Author most i/o logs or database
James

2006-12-12, 7:12 pm

Hi,

This question is for SQL 2000 and 2005.

Using a single standard database (full recovery model), and assuming the
database and logs are on different physical disks.

If I have a process that is mainly writing continuously to the database,
would you expect the logs or the database to require the most disk
performance?

Thanks,

James

Logs. You want fast writes for the transaction log.
