Re: Redo for the Undo

Hi Mladen,

thanks. Got that. Having a hard time to figure why this would be needed. I guess after a database crash when you restore a backup the before images prior to the restore point might be missing. Therefore roll forward will reinstall them in order to be able to cope this flash back. Other than that I see no reason for it since roll forward will generate the related undo anew.

Or, probably more generally speaking, restore should reconstruct the database state in its whole, not leaving out parts (like undo).

Thanks

Lothar
