Why not just restore the chunks that contain the db in question -----Original Message----- From: sumGirl [mailto:emebohw@netscape.net] Sent: Friday, June 18, 2004 10:37 AM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: crazy thought: what if I point a cooked chunk link to /dev/null? I have asked this before in another forum, just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on what would happen? Thinking about how I might restore one database from a level 0 containing two databases, avoiding over laying the one I dont want to restore by repointing all of its links to /dev/null? This sounds crazy I know, just wondering what you guys think! The ability to easily restore one database in a multidatabase instance is something we have always struggled with just because no one here has ever mastered HPL. sending to informix-list
