Whoops - to clarify: You may lose the _last_ one or two commits, until they get flushed to disk. The one in progress, and maybe the last successful commit. Not just any random commit:-) You can set up checkpointing to limit how long the last successful commit can be endangered. ...unless I read the code wrong. The manpage says "checkpoint" is only needed with "dbnosync". Hmm. -- Hallvard
