the problem is that this database does about 200000 transactions a day. i
have investigated this problem further and i found out that the transactions
are moving for some time and then suddendly stop moving. when the difference
between the oldest and the next trx becomes too great the problem arises.
restarting the server from time works but it can't stay this way. what could
cause the trx numbers not to move forward?

well, no. that's why i'm helpless at the moment. unfortunately the
application that has the problems wasn't coded by me, so i think i'll have
to work through the code to find the place where the problem could be.

any further suggestions, anyone?

thank you
