We have been told that this is due to performance issues. Our production database in NY gets hammered every day. Any slowdown caused by turning on transaction logging could serioiusly affect the business. Does anyone know of any benchmarks which have been done with/without logging turned on? Is the performance hit reduced in V7? FYI - We a running Ifmx V5 Inet on a twin CPU sparc w/ another twin CPU sparc as an application server. Regards, Matt.
