    I have a database which involves a lot of processing and bulk inserts. I am having problems with the tempdb file growing to extremely large sizes (over 60 GB). The database in question is set to Full Recovery. Will changing it to Simple Recovery prevent it from using the tempdb on these large inserts and bulk loads?

    The tempdb is a ‘processing’ part of the database in SQL Server which includes: static cursors, table variables, temp tables, sort operations and other worktable backed query operators, large variables and parameters. So the recovery mode doesn’t affect to the tempdb.
