How to read the BDB log ... and other questions
363754May 18 2007 — edited May 18 2007I am using a bdb database interface in the application openldap. When the bdb database there is established it creates, in addition to the data storage diles, a log file (log.0000000001). "file log.0000000001" reports that to be a binary file. How does one read that log?
I have asked this question on the openldap forum and was advised it can be read using tools provided by Oracle to support Berkeley DB, and was furhter advised to go the the Oracle Berkeley DB site. Well, I have done that ... looked around for evidence of any such "tools", but have found nothing.
Also, was advised there (in the openldap forum) that having that log file in the same directory with the data files is not a good idea, that it should be on a different spindle for performance purposes. I have looked at the BDB reference manual on line here but find no configuration options to move that log file to a different location.
Help? Thanks.
