Can anyone tell me what is the RECOVERY MODEL for MODEL database?

Is it necessary to have Recovery Model to be as FULL?

If so, What are the implications?

Please Clarify?

Recovery model for Model database is by default FULL
Necessary or Not, it totally depends upon simple question that How transactions will be logged, whether the transaction log will be backed up, and what restore options you will adopt in future for your database?

Specially when you need POINT IN TIME RECOVERY you must set your database recovery model to FULL. But when it comes to Bulk Data Insert, you must switch to Bulk-Logged recovery model,and if you think that there is no need to log your transactions and you can depend upon your FULL DATABASE BACKUPS, keep trust in SIMPLE recovery model.

Note that whatever recovery model Model has will be the same recovery model that all new databases on that instance have.

Thanks all.

Other User databases still have the different recovery model while MODEL is FULL.

Yes, they can, but any NEW database that you create on that server will have the same recovery model as the Model database.
