Accelerated Database Recovery

The described recovery process ensures that every database is in its last known consistent state after SQL Server's startup. The recovery process could take a long time in some cases. A common situation would be when SQL Server is stopped (sometimes unexpectedly) when some long-running transaction is being executed. The recovery process takes almost the same time as executing the transaction. It leads to unacceptable database unavailability. SQL Server 2019 brings a new database-scoped feature that bypasses this issue. The feature is called Accelerated Database Recovery (ADR). ADR basically keeps track of changes in data using internal row versioning. When SQL Server stops working and is restarted, SQL Server does not recover all the transactions from the transaction log, but simply recovers the proper versions of the records from the in-database row version store.

To turn on ADR, we can use the following Data Definition Language (DDL) statement...
