Hi,
if you have a bit of time, please try this:
- crash a database (seriously, I am not sure how, but I am trying to
report a bug in auto-recovery, so we need a crash).
- restart and let autorecovery do its job. It should open the database
you were working in for you (at least that is what appears to happen).
- create one or two new queries and save them.
- close you database.
- reopen it: the query you created after the crash-recovery are gone.
This is, because crash-recovery does not open your original database
for you, but a copy (called something like dbname_01.odb). After crash-
recovery you work in that temporary file (without knowing it), all you
modifications are saved to that file. When you close OO this file is
deleted and your work gone. The original file will open as if nothing
had happened.
I bumped into this once during the beta-phase of OO3 - and there was a
general issue with auto-recovery in the aqua-port at that time, so I
didn't follow it up too seriously, as I thought the general issue
would also solve this issue. But it's still there. One doesn't meet it
too often, because Base doesn't crash too often (for me), but if it
happens it can be quite catastrophic... I am on OO3, aqua, leopard.
Best
Rainer
