There is a thread over at /. about WikiMedia being out due to a power outage <http://slashdot.org/articles/05/02/22/0151213.shtml?tid=95>
MySql is getting bashed pretty hard in some cases as apparently, in power failures, you get database corruption. (this is all from the posts, not my opinion at all, I am asking only to learn more) Also, it is mentioned the MySql devs just do not have data corruption from power failure a high priority. Many are leaning on Postgres. For me, MySql has never let me down (Knock on PSU) but I have to ask, for more data on this matter. I run MySql on OS X, I sometimes have to reboot, it comes back up fine, I do however, do nothing special to shut down mysql, should I be? -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 <http://www.newgeo.com> Fax: 313.557.5052 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Novato, CA U.S.A. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
