Heba your problem here is that you have two separately controlled "automatic" recovery mechanisms. Since journalling is at the OS level and the other mechanism is at the application level it seems inevitable to me that you will have differences. From what I can see you will always be in the situation where someone will have to make a call on where to apply your journals too. Note that I'm ignoring committment control issues here for the purposes of discussion If you have some kind of crash, then the files that are journaled will be potentially recoverable right up to what was written to the database (obviously this is dependent on how you manage your journals and hardware). In the case of the other files, it is not quite so clear which files will be recovered. I presume that if you are not using journaling they won't be recoverable except via backup. If the application doesn't use journalling at any level and can't be recovered, then its kind of pointless to recover your custom data as it has nothing to refer to. Maybe you colud explain a bit further - I feel like all I;ve done is restate your problem :) Regards Evan Harris >This is a multipart message in MIME format. >-- >[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] >Actually I was looking for a way to maintain the referential integrity >between our files and application files. > >For example, if we have an order and order detail file in the application >database, and for some reason we have an internal developed file containg >extra order details.
