Hi! Table definition and table data are stored separately and they are recovered separately too.
The recovery tool works in the following way (I skipped unrelated steps for simplicity): 1. It constructs a temporary table with LOB chunks from all tables first. 2. Then, it recovers data from tables, it creates a new temporary table for each found table for that purpose. LOB values for them are constructed from chunks from (1). Actual table names, column names, data types and other attributes aren't yet known at that moment. 3. Next, it tries to recover metadata of database, including definitions of actual tables. 4. After that, If metadata of some table was recovered on step (3) and data for that table was recovered on step (2) data is copied from the temporary table into actual one. 5. Finally, all temporary tables are dropped. This strategy isn't perfect and can potentially be improved, at least for some cases when both data and metadata are recoverable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "H2 Database" group.
