In the hereunder written message I talk about point in time restore.
It is now based upon the fact that there are no hardware problems or what so
ever.
I just would like to roll back to a situation of some time (minutes, hours
or what ever) ago.
Used to the ingres database a point in time restore can take place UP to
any, any, any time since the last FULL backup. (any time up to now !!!)
I can't understand why a point in time restore can only be done based upon
transaction log backups. The current transaction log is also available in my
opinion. (Turn off the power, turn on the power and you will notice that the
automatic recovery is based upon this transaction log file; so in that case
this file is used)
That's what my question is about. Is it correct that a point in time restore
in a SQL server environment can only be done up to the last transaction log
backup.
