> I don't think so, worked in this scenario before and the tables either dissapear completely (files deleted) or some records are replaced or added with junk values
Actually, there's a possibility to get files like these. It's even built into Windows and called NTFS. When you change or update files on an NTFS formatted drive, NTFS keeps track of changes in a transaction log. Sometimes, shutting down the computer can take an awful long time while the hard disk is constantly spinning. Last time I had this happen to me was when I was shutting down a vmware and then shutting down the laptop. After 30-40 minutes of staring at the "please wait... System is shutting down" message, I finally turned off the computer briskly. When I turned it on again I didn't immediately note any problems. All my files where there. Only when I continued working on a program file I realized that Windows had filled many files with CHR(0) that I changed up to around 15 minutes before shutting down my system. The file size was correct, just the content was gone. I assume that rolling back the transaction log didn't work out too well. -- Christof _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/3d325e918eae4dc18a3440928ca73...@fpl5 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
