SQL Server误区30日谈 第14天 清除日志后会将相关的LSN填零初始化

误区 #14.清除日志后会将相关的LSN填零初始化

错误

    当日志文件在手动增长，自动增长和创建时都会进行填零初始化操作。但是请不要把这个过程和定期清除日志的过程搞混。日志截断仅仅意味着将一个或多个VLF标记为不活动以便被重复使用。在日志清除的过程中，并没有任何日志被清除或是填0。“清除日志”和”截断日志”意思是一样的，但都属于用词不当，因为在这个过程中日志的大小不会有任何改变。

    你可以在我的博客中看到有关日志文件填零初始化的博文：Search Engine Q&A #24: Why can't the transaction log use instant initialization?。以及我发布在TechNet杂志的文章:Understanding Logging and Recovery in SQL Server。

    你可以通过跟踪标记3004来查看SQL Server对日志文件进行填零初始化的过程。将这个追踪标记打开当日志文件增长时，你就可以在SQL Server日志中看到相关信息，下面是测试代码:
复制代码 代码如下:
DBCC TRACEON (3004, 3605);
GO
-- Create database and put in SIMPLE recovery model so the log will clear on checkpoint
CREATE DATABASE LogClearTest ON PRIMARY (
NAME = 'LogClearTest_data',
FILENAME = N'D:\SQLskills\LogClearTest_data.mdf')
LOG ON (
NAME = 'LogClearTest_log',
FILENAME = N'D:\SQLskills\LogClearTest_log.ldf',
SIZE = 20MB);
GO
-- Error log mark 1
ALTER DATABASE LogClearTest SET RECOVERY SIMPLE;
GO
USE LogClearTest;
GO
-- Create table and fill with 10MB - so 10MB in the log
CREATE TABLE t1 (c1 INT IDENTITY, c2 CHAR (8000) DEFAULT 'a');
GO
INSERT INTO t1 DEFAULT VALUES;
GO 1280
-- Clear the log
CHECKPOINT;
GO
-- Error log mark 2
ALTER DATABASE LogClearTest SET RECOVERY SIMPLE;
GO

相应的，在日志中你可以看到:
复制代码 代码如下:
