I worked on the Oracle Mail system a LONG time ago. I hope it has improved. The back-end was "okay", but the interface was AWFUL. Of course, that was in the mid-ninties. I would say that Oracle is probably storing the data in their logs in a little more usable format than Microsoft does.

Oracle has an email app and we were discussing it. You ever had any experience with it? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of McBee, Jim Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 5:19 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Transaction log reports Charles: I have never seen a tool for mining information from the transaction logs. The information in those logs would be information that only a mother could love. Specifically, mother-ESE. The transaction logs contain pages of data that will be written to the EDB or EDB/STM files; these pages correspond to the message information, but they may not be in any useful order, at least to mere humans. If you want to see a little more on the log files, you can use the ESEUTIL /M option to dump some info about the logs. AFAIK, Microsoft does not publicly publish any useful information on the contents of the log files or the ESE database. You are certainly not a newbie to Exchange or this list, so I know this is not one of those "stupid" questions. Did you have a specific goal in mind with this information. Any help?

Can they be archived and used as a source of information for reporting purposes? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Glenn Corbett Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 4:09 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Transaction log reports Well, there are transaction logs, maybe you should have a look at all those .log files in your mdbdata directory. On second thoughts....you'd better not :) However, charles may be referring to tracking logs, not transaction logs.
