That vendor should be flogged... I would question anything that vendor says or does... because I can only think of only a few situations where you would not use logging: 1. Downloading to a "read only" (no need for current data) database for reporting where you would NOT use data replication... 2. a "warm-fuzzy feeling" database for archive/purge or backup purposes... 3. All updates/inserts/deletes are done via batch at night... 4. All data in the database can be easily reproduced by little elves typing quickly. Can you "DiBA's" think of any other situation where you would keep logging off ALL the time?
