Not sure if you meant Firebird data integrity, if so, let me try to put your mind at ease. Data and database integrity it one of Firebird best features. There are truly only a hand full of cases which I am aware (in almost 20 years, going back to Interbase) of data or database being lost due to an engine failure. Loss due to bad hardware or poor hardware setup not withstanding. Sean ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
