RE: Thread vanished
Marc,
Can you implement database archive logging? This process entails the archiving of the transaction log at regular intervals (your choice - hourly, every 15,10,5,1min). When a restore of the database is needed, the last full backup of the database is restored and the transaction logs are applied in chronological order until the last recoverable transaction has been applied prior to the crash of the database. This would result in no lost threads and the confusion that is occuring of what went where and why?
Just my 0.02
Rgds,
Mark
