I'm sure FlushFileBuffers() is usesless for files opend with open() too. As I said in the previlus mails, open()+_commit() does the right job with the transaction log files. So probably I think I should stick with open()+_commit() approach for ordinary table/index files too. -- Tatsuo Ishii ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
