Good thing you tell me that, I was under the (by now it seems)
illusion that there is absolutely no place for a dbserver to react falsly

This means I should check after every insertion? (how do you notice
those "occasional faults"?)
Will this part of code work, will it detect if insertation was somehow
unsuccesfull, or is there a catch (like dbserver doesn't save records
to file instantly, but nonetheless shows these records as a part of
the db, but if some wierd win2k error occurs, the records never get
saved to dbfile - and this is the other function the check db had: if
anything happened to the normal db file, there was a consistent backup)
"
if(st.executeUpdate(toinsert)<1) return(errorcode);
rs=st.exequteQuery(whatIinserted)
//check rs
"
Thanks again!
