Under commit option A, entities are still synchronized _to_ the database on commit, so you won't miss any data. They're not necessarily read _from_ the database when they join a transaction, but that shouldn't be a problem with backups. -danch ___ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
[JBoss-user] Backup problem?
Hi All... We are getting ready to put a system into production and a question occured to us. Our plan is to use jBoss/Tomcat 2.2.1 with PostgreSQL on Debian/Linux. Postgres has a pgdump utility that will allow an online backup that is guaranteed correct (from a referential integrity standpoint). Of course, we had planned to use commit option 'A' for performance reasons. So, the problem is, how do we do an online backup of a database when jBoss is running commit option 'A'? Will a backup be logically consistent with jBoss caching EBs and queries and such if we use pgdump while jBoss is running? We would prefer not to have to take the server down to do a backup. I not sure if this is a problem or not and would appreciate any comments. Thanks!
