Why would you lose entire database ? I can undestand that since there are not txns logged, you cannot rely on txn integrity. But if it a simple case (say 1 rec update is equivalent to 1 txn or say importing tables) if there is a crash it could leave the database in inconsistant stage. But if I know my heavy hitting batch and can undo changes done by batch by another recover process in case of a crash, why would I lose entire database ?

Where do I find more information about such undocumented parameters ?
