public database role. It provides
default permissions when a user has
not been granted or denied specific
permissions.

•INFORMATION_SCHEMA and sys

Every database includes two entities that appear as users in catalog views:
INFORMATION_SCHEMA and sys. These entities are required by SQL Server. They
cannot be modified or dropped.

Best Practices
1. Use the NTFS file system
2. Use RAID for critical data files
3. Disable unnecessary protocols
4. Run SQL Server services with the lowest possible permissions
5. Associate SQL Server services with low privileged Windows accounts

SQL Server Recovery Models
•Full Recovery Model

•Bulk-Logged Recovery Model
•Simple Recovery Model
29
Train Signal, Inc.
Mel Haynes
Demo:
•Show where recovery model is

set or changed in existing db
•Show creating a new db and
where recovery model is set.

Train Signal, Inc.
Mel Haynes
Full Recovery Model

• Transactional log files are maintained
• No work is lost due to a lost or damaged data file
• Can recover to an arbitrary point in time
• Normally no work loss exposure
(If the “tail” of the log is damaged, changes since
the most recent log backup must be redone.)

Train Signal, Inc.
Mel Haynes
Use the Full Recovery Model when…

1. You must be able to recover all the data
2. If the database contains multiple filegroups, and
you want a piecemeal restore of read/write
secondary filegroups
3. You must be able to recover to the point of
failure
4. You are willing to incur the administrative costs
of transaction log backups
5. You are willing to incur a performance “hit”
30
Train Signal, Inc.
Mel Haynes
Bulk Logged Recovery Model

• Logs are maintained, but not individual transactions
• Supports high-performance bulk copy operations
• Reduces log space for most bulk operations
• If the log is damaged or bulk-logged operations
occurred since the most recent log backup, changes
since that last backup must be redone.

Train Signal, Inc.
Mel Haynes

Train Signal, Inc.
Mel Haynes
Bulk Logged Recovery Model

• Can recover to the end of any backup
• If a log backup contains any bulk-logged operations,
you cannot restore to a point-in-time within that log
backup; you can restore only the whole log backup
31
Train Signal, Inc.
Mel Haynes
Use the Bulk-Logged Recovery Model when…

1. You are running large-scale bulk
operations, and you do not require
point-in-time recovery of the database
2. You must run periodic bulk operations
3. You want to conserve disk space by
using minimal logging
As soon as a set of bulk operations

finishes, immediately switch back to the
full recovery model.

Train Signal, Inc.
Mel Haynes
Switching Between Full and Bulk-Logged Recovery

• For a database that uses full recovery, switching to the bulk-logged
recovery model temporarily for bulk operations improves
performance
• Conditions:
1. Users are currently not allowed in the database
2. No modifications are made during bulk processing
• Recommends:
1. Before switching to the bulk-logged recovery model back up
the log
2. After performing the bulk operations immediately switch back
to full recovery mode
3. After switching back to the full recovery model, you back up
the log again

Train Signal, Inc.
Mel Haynes
Simple Recovery Model

• No log backups
• Automatically reclaims log space to keep space
requirements small, essentially eliminating the
need to manage the transaction log space
• Changes since the most recent backup are
unprotected. In the event of a disaster, those
changes must be redone
• Can recover only to the end of a backup
32
Train Signal, Inc.
Mel Haynes
Use the simple recovery model when…

• Point of failure recovery is unnecessary
• You are willing to lose all the updates between a
failure and the previous backup or differential
backup

Backup types: Whole or partial?

Every recovery model lets you back up a whole or
partial SQL Server database or individual files or
filegroups of the database
• Full backup
A full backup contains all the data in a specific
• Differential
database or backup
set of filegroups or files, and also
enough log to allow for recovering that data

Train Signal, Inc.
Mel Haynes
Backup types: Whole or partial?

• Differential backup
A differential backup is based on the latest full
backup of the data
– Differential base: A full backup
– Differential backup: The changed data
– Can speed up the backup process
– Restore the full backup first, then the most
recent differential backup

Proxy
• Job steps that execute Transact-SQL
do not use SQL Server Agent proxies.
• A SQL Server Agent proxy defines the
security context for a job step.
• A proxy provides SQL Server Agent
with access to the security
credentials for a Microsoft Windows
user.

Train Signal, Inc.
Mel Haynes
SQL Server Failover Clustering

• Built on top of Windows Server failover clusters
• Supports an entire instance of SQL Server
• One or more "nodes", or servers, and two or more shared
disks
• Appears as a single SQL Server instance
• An application can connect by referencing the failover
cluster instance name
• A non-disk hardware failure, operating system failure, or
planned operating system upgrade
• A failover cluster does not protect against disk failure
• SQL Server Enterprise, SQL Server Developer, SQL Server
Standard
53
Train Signal, Inc.
Mel Haynes
SQL Server Database Mirroring

•A software solution
•Almost instantaneous failover
•A single standby database
• Principal server
and mirror server

Train Signal, Inc.
Mel Haynes
SQL Server Log Shipping

• One or more warm standby databases
• Updates secondary database at set intervals
from log backups of the primary database
• User-modifiable delay between creating a
log backup and restores
• You must manually applying any unrestored
log backups before a failover can occur
• Log shipping can support multiple standby
databases

Train Signal, Inc.
Mel Haynes
SQL Server Replication

• Publisher-subscriber model
• Can distribute data to one or more
secondary servers, or Subscribers
• Supports data filtering and
partitioning
• Real-time availability
• Subscribers are online and available

Clustered vs Nonclustered
• Clustered
– Sort and store the data rows in the table or view
– There can be only one clustered index per table
– The only time the data rows in a table are stored in
sorted order is when the table contains a clustered
index
– The table is called a clustered table
• Nonclustered
– Have a structure separate from the data rows
– Contain the key values and pointers to the data row
that contains the key value
