| I've just been reading about an Oracle issue [url]http://www.infoworld.com/d/security/fundamental-oracle-flaw-revealed-184163-0?page=0,0[/url] I don't recall hearing of an equivalent in SQL Server but that could be my failing memory, anyone know any different?-----------What color do you want that database? |

| The Log Sequence Number (LSN). But that is not synced between interconnected databases (except in mirroring, where the two databases are identical), it increments strictly on the basis of the log used (it's VLF number: Log block number: Log record number), so it can't be incremented by a few million like the Oracle one, and other than the hard limit of the data type there are no 'too large' values for it.--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP |
