Re: [firebird-support] FW and Journaling

As long as the transaction is committed, the data is replicated. That's better than forced writes on.

Ok, you didn't provide enough information on how your replication works, so it is hard to think about all the possibilities :) Even with synchronous replication, commiting doesnt mean that the data was really saved in the disk, so if your replication is made by a third part software (not by triggers and execute statement), I think there is still a chance of commited work not being replicated in the case of DB getting corrupted before the replication happens.

Anyway, this already is going far from the original question ;-)

Thanks for your opinion, but replication is not in question in this
case. Also, if data fails to be saved in your production database, it
will not be replicated.
