Even after reading The Data Loading Performance Guide , I am still unsure if its necessary to add the TABLOCK table hint to an empty temporary table, defined with a clustered index in order to get minimal logging.
Obviously the temp table is created in TempDB which operates in the SIMPLE recovery mode so I would have thought that it was a perfect candidate for minimal logging, however I can not find a passage to confirm it.
Is a temporary table a candidate for minimal logging, and if so is it worth adding the TABLOCK hint as recommended for permanent tables?
