I guess the subject says it all. the server just quits and you have to restore the database? This is what our admin people are doing, anyway and its a 6 hour process and all you get is what you had on your last backup. Doesnt seem like the last word in data safety/reliability. somebody does a transaction which affects quite a few rows of the database, the logs fill, and everything comes to a very quiet halt. tom.
