If it's going to slow down the performance of my database when not doing recovery (because I have to write two files for every transaction, rather than one), I couldn't care less about speeding up the recovery process. As far as Bruce's question goes, what kind of corruption can happen to the log files? We write a full block at a time, I guess, so it might make sense to checksum it to verify that the block was not partially written. cjs -- Curt Sampson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +81 90 7737 2974 http://www.netbsd.org Don't you know, in this new Dark Age, we're all light. --XTC ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
