Change SQL Database Recovery Model – 2 Easy Methods

Image
This article explains how to change SQL database recovery model using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and Transact-SQL. According to Microsoft, a “recovery model” is a database property that controls how transactions are logged, whether the transaction log requires (and allows) backing up, and what kinds of restore operations are available. With SSRS configured for SCCM or reporting in general, by default, the ReportServer database recovery model is enabled as FULL. This means that all activity in the ReportServer database will get logged to the transaction file. Most importantly, the transaction logs can grow with time. When you want to reduce the size of the SQL Server-based SCCM reporting services log database, you might want to change the recovery model. SQL administrators will know of more ways to change the database recovery model like these. https://remont.biz.pl/forum/thread-141126.html http://famstock.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=12140 https://forum.cousinzins.fr/thread-2650.h...

How to Find SCCM Database Size using SQL Query

In this post, I will show you how to find SCCM database size using SQL query. SQL Server allows you to manually check the size of the SCCM database, including free space details. We know that each Configuration Manager site requires a supported SQL Server version and configuration to host the site database. Older versions of SQL Server installed for SCCM must be updated to recent version as they provide better performance. SQL Server is used to store information for Configuration Manager sites. Each site in a Configuration Manager hierarchy contains a site database and a server that is assigned the site database server role. You must be aware of the size of the SCCM database because occasionally, you may run out of the disk space. For example, the size of the report server database log file taking up most of the disk space is one of the most common problems ConfigMgr administrators run into. Luckily, you can shrink the size of SCCM reporting services log database. You might need to loo...
