Hi,

The method suggested by Quanah worked perfectly. I also find very useful the
information given by Dieter since I'll take of creating a DB_CONFIG file in
new deployments. My last question has to be with db_checkpoint. Should I
call it periodically or will Berkeley delete logs by its own?

Thanks a lot
