Two Hour Gap

chaoticset on 2002-06-27T02:52:28

Power failed two hours ago during a fairly lively lightning storm. (I got photos, because they always look so nice when they're happening, but I doubt I managed to catch anything interesting. I'll toss 'em into Photoshop when I get a few spare minutes and see if they're useless or not.)

I had the MySQL server going when the power died, and worried that something went horribly horribly wrong. Nope; booted back up and checked. All tables intact. (Had I been accessing it, perhaps it would have been a different story. Good thing power failures aren't all that common around here.)


Transactions and journalling

I love those two features. I know mysql has transactions now (but does anybody use them?). Does it have journalling? (PostgreSQL user here.)

I'd love to see those photos. Please do upload them if you get a spare second or two.
