  • Robust end-of-log processing
    Publication number: 20070136380
    Abstract: A method of invalidating an unused log file in a database includes examining a discard log information storage area and determining if a discard log exists. If the discard log exists, the log is invalidated. The headers of each of the log files that have been fully invalidated are then invalidated. The discard log is then fully invalidated and a new log file may be generated on top of the discarded log. The method may be interrupted by a failure, a changeover, or crash and will be repeated until it completes.
