Hello,

I want to setup a database HA like described in the SAP DB Ha howto by
Yves trudeau (sapdb.2scale.net/moin.cgi/SapDbHaHowto),
but I have a question about the database consistency in this setup.

During a recover, the redo task reads the redolist.
For commits:
it uses the generate redo log files to roll forward the database

For rollbacks:
if the rollback started before the savepoint -> the redo task evaluates
the UNDO LOG FILE of the transaction, in order to set the transaction to
the state before the savepoint.
(http://www.mysql.com/documentation/maxdb/62/79bb3ee5bf7173e10000000a114084/content.htm)
=> My question: the main database crashed, making the data area
unavailable. The backupdatabase uses the databackups and logbackups to
be rebuild, but the "last night" databackups do not contain these latest
undo log files (undo log files are stored in the data area) and the
logbackups only contain the redo log entries. Does this mean the
database in this case can not be reset to a consistent state? Or are the
undo log files also regenerated by the redo task?

Regards,

Filip Sergeys
