If your database is unusable, you have experienced a database failure. SQL Anywhere provides protection against the following types of failure:
Type of failure | Description | Examples |
---|---|---|
Media | The database file and/or the transaction log become unusable. This type of failure can occur because the file system or the device storing the database file becomes unusable, or because of file corruption. Backups protect your data against media failure. |
|
System |
A system failure occurs when the computer or operating system fails while there are partially completed transactions. This type of failure can occur when the computer is inappropriately turned off or restarted, when another application causes the operating system to fail, or because of a power failure. After a system failure occurs, the database server recovers automatically when you next start the database. The results of each transaction committed before the system error are intact. All changes by transactions that were not committed before the system failure are canceled. |
