Hello,

I need to limit datebase size (we need uninterrupt datebase work for many
months). Can I do it if my programm will support fixed quantity of rows in
tables, or there are logs or temps whose size I can't limit?

to keep the database from halting when the log is full you have to do log backups every now and then (or set the log mode to demo if you don't care about your data at all).
I'm thinking, isn't that a bit harsh? As long as you perform backups that are consistent (checkpointed for versions <= 7.3 (am I correct in this?)) and you accept the fact that upon disaster you will only recover the information up until the point when you took the last backup, I wouldn't say that you "don't care about the data".

Isn't this level of data security the same level as you get for an ordinary file server? You don't have log backups there either, but you do have backups.

Am I completely off the mark here, and if yes, could someone explain the difference to me?
