| Simple recovery model allows restore database only up to the last full backup, while in full recovery model, you can get point in time recovery.You can change recovery model from simple to full as it is desirable in any production enviornment.however, you would have to take a full backup immediately after changing recovery model from simple to full. Also, as suggested you need to perform periodic transactiong log backup based on your workload. |

| One of the impacts - is to analyse disk required and the regular backups to clear the logs. Another impact is performance , do you have large bulk loading processes?Jack Vamvas--------------------http://www.sqlserver-dba.com |

| Bulk loading process will cause logging every transactions in full recovery model which will have huge impact on disk space, io operations etc. Its a surprise to me when you say you dont have Bulk loading process in your warehouse. Warehouse will usually have batch data loads daily. Also most of day warehouse data would be static as data loads mostly happens nightly or at the max on noontime too unless you have some real time reporting needs. So not sure why you want Recovery Model to be Full. Can you tell the reason for doing this?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/ |

| If you are maintaining a Datawarehouse , and the data loads are once a day - and the data remains static during the day- then Recovery Model of FULL has little value. The users typically run reports - as read - with no writes.Jack Vamvas--------------------http://www.sqlserver-dba.com |
