For best performance, the transaction log should be on a separate disk.
Does the writing of the log benefit from a battery backed controller
as well? If not, what do people think about writing the transaction
log to a flash card or the like?
How popular are the battery backed RAM drives that exist today? I don't
recall seeing them spoken about in this mailing list. The local geek
shop has these devices on sale. Are they still too expensive?
For those that don't know what I am talking about - they are PCI devices
that present themselves as a hard drive, but are filled with commodity
RAM instead of a magnetic platter, and a battery that lasts a few weeks
without external power.
