Recovery after Crash

I had a crash on my w2k machine. I installed w2k in a new directory.
Then I installed DB2 V8.1 in the same directory as before. Now DB2 is
not able to start. It tells me that the environment is inconsistent,
because the instance is not valid. DB2INSTANCE is DB2, and the old
instance is e:\db2. DB2 is installed on drive E:, too.

What can I do to get the old data (no, I don't have a backup of all
data, only of the most important table).

Regards,

Burkhard,

The e:\db2 is your database path.

When I had this type of problem, I was able to drop the DB2 instance
(db2idrop db2) and then create it again (db2icrt db2).

Dropping the instance does not affect any databases under the instance.
However, you will have to catalog the database entry again after you
re-create the DB2 instance: db2 catalog database xxxxx as yyyyyy on e:

change diaglevel to 4
try to restart DB2
see db2diag.log

DB2 LIST DATABASE DIRECTORY [ON drive]
(e: in your case, you should see the db's that were there before.)

check
DBM CFG dftdbpath

those could help
re-catalog nodes
re-catalog databases

After some thinking overnight I solved the problem like I did it on AIX
some times ago: I deinstalled DB2, renamed DB2 to DB2.old, installed DB2
with all fixpaks, created the sample database (that created the instance
DB2), created an empty database with the correct name, dropped the
sample database, stopped db2, renamed DB2.old to DB2, started DB2, and
all was OK.

Then I made an offline backup :-)

We are evaluating Postgres and would like some input about disaster recovery. I know in MsSQL they have a feature called transactional logs that would enable a database to be put back together based off those logs. Does Postgres do anything like this? I saw in the documentation transactional logging but I don't know if it is the same. Where can I find info about disaster recovery in Postgres. Thank you in advance for any info given. ...

During a ROLLFORWARD recovery, are the log datasets copied from the archive log directory to the active log directory? I know the log datasets are copied from archive log directory to active log directory during a ROLLBACK (for example in a crash recovery), but was wondering if it is the same during a ROLLFORWARD recovery too. TIA Raquel.

There's something clearly missing in my understanding of recovery: I set up a small sample datavase and deleted all the rows from a table. Crucially, I omitted the "commit". I then shut down db2, and copied everything under the db2inst1/db2inst1/NODE0000 directory to another server. When I restarted db2 on the first server the rows were still missing. But on the second server they were still there :-( I repeated the exercise several...

We're developing a java app and are using postgres as the database. On our dev server I started the app, closed it, but the java process was still open so I killed it, which caused the above error.
