Nothing that simply uses the standard file IO interface is going to be "fully" transactional. Only by maintaining a dedicated transaction log is going to meet that requirement. That said, the technique Lucene uses reduces the chance significantly that application failures will result in a corrupted index base. -- Brian Goetz Quiotix Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 650-843-1300 Fax: 650-324-8032 http://www.quiotix.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
