I quote:
"Most DBMS systems utilize a logging and recovery mechanism known as the ARIES algorithms. This recovery mechanism was initially designed by C. Mohan of the IBM Almaden Research Center in the mid 1980s."
Legend:

* Most <> All
* This recovery mechanism was designed <> Recovery was invented
* Initially <> Final

One of us is interpreting this article rather liberally I'm afraid. Not that this is all that rare. It explains a lot of what's going on in this planet.

Cheers
