You don't have to close the DB. All you have to do is commit. Before the commit finishes, all of your data is guaranteed to be on oxide.** **Note: this assumes that the fsync() system call (or its equivalent on windows) really works as advertised. In practice, I am told, this assumption is false, because almost every disk controller lies and says that it has committed a sector to oxide before it really has. -- D.
