X-Mailer: MH 6.8.4 X-PGP: ftp://ftp.cityip.co.za/users/wjv/pubkey.asc X-URL: http://www.cityip.co.za/~wjv/ Date: Sun, 25 Jan 1998 13:09:36 +0200 From: Johann Visagie Message-Id: Sender: owner-freebsd-database@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Hi there, Has anyone else had the experience that MiniSQL 2.0.1 (as installed from the ports collection, running on 2.2.1-RELEASE) has a tendency to "lose" chunks of data between restarts? It is as if some disk writes are simply not committed, leaving the data in one or more tables incomplete. I was evaluating MiniSQL for a commercial application - its simplicity was its major advantage over, say, Postgres. But since it seems to have these sort of holes in it, I'm currently porting everything over to MySQL. -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 75-1317
