Re: 7.31 performance problem
When you archive a log file to tape, Informix needs to log that fact. If the logs are already full, you cannot log the log archive. Therefore, by preserving the last log, the archive of all of the other log files can be logged. Sounds like a tongue-twister doesn't it? :) Andre…
