Database Recovery (Advances in Database Systems) (Hardcover)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Database Recovery presents an in-depth discussion on all aspects of database recovery. Firstly, it introduces the topic informally to set the intuitive understanding, and then presents a formal treatment of recovery mechanism. In the past, recovery has been treated merely as a mechanism which is implemented on an ad-hoc basis. This book elevates the recovery from a mechanism to a concept, and presents its essential properties. A book on recovery is incomplete if it does not present how recovery is practiced in commercial systems. This book, therefore, presents a detailed description of recovery mechanisms as implemented on Informix, OpenIngres, Oracle, and Sybase commercial database systems. Database Recovery is suitable as a textbook for a graduate-level course on database recovery, as a secondary text for a graduate-level course on database systems, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.

Recovery in Parallel Database Systems (Paperback)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The relational DBMS technology is a success in the commercial market. This success has led to the use of DBMS technology in application environments requesting their traditional virtues but at the same time adding new requirements such as: Very high transaction rates, real-time transaction response, and continuous availability. New multi-processor hardware architectures lay the foundation making it possible to meet these requirements. This book presents and analysis in a systematic way the main recovery approaches for centralized DBMSs developed over the last two decades, in particular to how well they fulfill the requirements for availability and soft real-time response. The analysis relates specifically to approaches used in current commercial and research systems. The element in particular lacking in the current methods is the ability to on-line re-establish the fault tolerance level automatically and without blocking. A set of novel recovery methods for parallel DBM's based on multi-computer shared nothing hardware is presented. The recovery methods are intended to support: Continuously available transaction services, very high transaction loads, and soft real-time transaction response.

FolderMatch - Backup Your Files or Hard Drive, Protect Your Data, Compare and Synchronize Folders on Your Computer (Windows Software)

Product Features

• Easily, quickly, and reliably compare and synchronize two folders, two drives, or two computers.
• Safely backup photos, emails, contacts, and documents.
• See the exact text differences between two text files, Excel spreadsheets, Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF, or RTF documents.
• Find and remove all duplicate files on your machine. Even if their names are different!
• Much more!

Product Description

From the Manufacturer
FolderMatch is the solution to your data backup problems!

FolderMatch is fast. Foldermatch compares large system folders, even the Windows system folders, in only seconds.

You won't have any trouble figuring out how to get started with FolderMatch. The first time you run it, you are given the opportunity to view a brief animation which quickly and easily demonstrates how to use the software.

FolderMatch will synchronize your PC with an atomic clock on startup, if you want. This is advisable, since FolderMatch relies pretty heavily on timestamps.

FolderMatch creates reports which you can view in FolderMatch or Ms Word, if you like.

FolderMatch can also check for file differences according to size or contents. FolderMatch can even use cyclic redundancy to check the data integrity.

You can use FolderMatch to find duplicate files and eliminate them, saving drive space. There are a thousand different ways you can use this terrific file management utility.

With FolderMatch, backing up important folders is a real breeze. Not only that, but you can see what's going on, and it's a lot faster than copying an entire large folder. Try copying the Windows folder and see how many error messages you get. It's nearly impossible to back up a Windows system folder just using normal file copy methods.

Here is how you can back up your files on an external USB drive using FolderMatch:

1. Pick a folder on main drive C:
2. Pick the same folder on your backup drive F:
3. Click the "compare" icon in FolderMatch (The differences show up right away.)
4. Click the "synchronize" icon in FolderMatch. (There are various options to choose.)
5. Choose "move the orphan files to the right side" (that's my backup drive F:)
6. Then run "compare" again. If it shows you that some files on the right are older, then just tell FolderMatch to copy over them. If there are extraneous files on the right, then delete them. This saves space on your backup drive.

There are lots of other ways to set up FolderMatch too. It's really easy, and quite adaptable to a variety of file management needs.

Product Description
FolderMatch is an award-winning utility which compares and synchronizes two folder trees or two files. Foldermatch won "Best Overall Utility" and "People's Choice" SIAF awards in 2002, 2003, and 2004. FolderMatch is "must-have" insurance against loss of valuable data. Never again be stuck with out of date data. Never again lose critical information. FolderMatch ensures that the appropriate versions of all files are retained. FolderMatch is a fast and easy way to stay in sync. Choose from any of eight different ways to compare your files - from the simple date/time method to the advanced 160-bit Secure Hash Algorithm. Differences are shown side-by-side in a graphical, easy to understand manner. Synchronize the files with a button click. Wizards guide you through the process. There are many powerful options to choose from. Simple enough for a novice to use, yet feature-rich enough for a power user to exploit. From the makers of FolderClone and FolderClone Pro, the powerful backup software.
