Norman made this comment in the bookies thread, I thought I'd take it out of
context and shove it here.
What Norman is referring to, is the "American Style" Thunder and Lightning
we have had in Scotland (and Englandshire) for the last few days; the stuff
we see on documentaries about the wonders of weather in America. Never seen
anything like it!
Anyway, it caused our server systems to crash big time, mostly because of
severe power outages.
But what I want to say here, is that the Oracle8i systems performed
superbly, even though they had to put up with complete black outs, they all
restarted, recovered automatically (thread recovery, crash recovery) and
continued as though nothing had happened!
Thank you Oracle, superb product. I was worried in case I actually had use
the backup system I had put in place.
BTW the Access folks are in real trouble.
George Barbour.
PS Yes I have tested the backup system using different recovery scenarios
etc.
