Yes they're all right ! Database is the last thing on your problem list...
I don't know how you thought the system... if it's WEB based... more problems arrise... In a potential scenario... I miself would power up the database server with an UPS... because it contains DATA... the application... you'd probably have a backup... in case of a power failure the DATA survives... you dont' care about the stations.... In case of network failure... you don't care about the stations because the data is in one place... Now for disaster recovery you may have the server in a part of the headquarter... and a REPLICA (use MySQL replication...) in the other part of the headquarter. ( I did this in the past... the domain controller that kept all the info from the company had the UPS, all stations saved all data on the domain controller (even Windows profiles...) in case of a power failure the domain controller is up and running and holding all the data up to the last SAVE given by any user.... Now imagine instead of domain controller is MySQL... in your case... ) -- Gabriel PREDA Senior Web Developer -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
