SQL SERVER – Auto Recovery File Settings in SSMS – SQL in Sixty Seconds #034 – Video
- by pinaldave
Every developer once in a while facing an unfortunate situation where they have not yet saved the work and their SQL Server Management Studio crashes. Well, you can minimize the loss by optimizing auto recovery settings. In this video we can see how to set the auto recovery settings.
Go to SSMS >> Tools >> Options >> Environment >> AutoRecover
There are two different settings:
1) Save AutoRecover Information Every Minutes
This option will save the SQL Query file at certain interval. Set this option to minimum value possible to avoid loss. If you have set this value to 5, in the worst possible case, you can loose last 5 minutes of the work.
2) Keep AutoRecover Information for Days
This option will preserve the AutoRecovery information for specified days. Though, I suggest in case of accident open SQL Server Management Studio right away and recover your file. Do not procrastinate this important task for future dates.
