Hi, I'm Currently evaluating PostgreSQL, and comparing with other DBMS. Actually, the point for me is robustness and particularly how to recover from a power fail or a disk crash. I couldn't find any accurate explanation about that point in the current PostgreSQL doc, so could anyone give ,or direct me toward, a comprehensive and precise description about what to do before and after a crash in order to recover a database ? Thanks a lot. -- Richard Béneyt [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
