Yes, it does but journalling of WHAT? The DBMS implments journaling of the data, which is good because most journalling file system don't - they journal the file system meta data (AFAIK you can turn on data journaling for some of them - but you are right, the DBMS does it much better). For file system meta data, you still need a journalling filesystem. Gilad -- Gilad Ben-Yossef <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Codefidence.
