Thank you very much for your answer Helen.

I do backups every day, one full and several incrementals. Well, rather it
is done automatically by my program.

I understand that each commited (and not commited, of course) row keeps the
number of its TID, so that number is always present in the row. When after
a cycle backup/restore the Next Transaction is 1 because all the integer
numbers were used, what happens? that database cannot be used anymore for
inserts, updates and deletes?

Greetings.

Walter.
