I have a home server on UPS, and can tell you from real experience what crashes I hade despite all this: 1) Broken power supply -> UPS doesn't help 2) My daughter turning the server off -> UPS doesn't help But you always risk your transactions for a very small performance gain. Even for your home server, never make a setup that can break your DB. It's better to use faster hardware instead, if you really, really need it. mfg zmi -- // Michael Monnerie, Ing.BSc ----- http://it-management.at // Tel: 0660 / 415 65 31 .network.your.ideas. // PGP Key: "curl -s http://zmi.at/zmi.asc | gpg --import" // Fingerprint: AC19 F9D5 36ED CD8A EF38 500E CE14 91F7 1C12 09B4 // Keyserver: wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net Key-ID: 1C1209B4 _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.fastxs.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
