The main purpose of the journal is so that if the program or OS crashes or there is a power failure, once the machine reboots and some other process tries to read the database, the other process can see the journal and roll it back. Private anonymous mapped objects defeat that purpose, it would seem. On windows, TEMP tables are stored in c:\temp\etilqs_* files. But on unix, TEMP tables are stored in private, nameless files that are automatically deleted after a crash. On unix, this is accomplished by opening a file then immediately unlinking the file while it is still open. Such files disappear from the filesystem but are still available for I/O. I don't think that sort of thing is possible on windows, unless these "anonymous mapped objects" you speak of might serve the purpose. Where do I find out more about "anonymous mapped objects" for windows? -- D.
