Are checksums used for log pages? I did not see anything in ma_loghandler.c for this. Can I do a hot copy/backup of a table? That is can I copy the data and index files while transactions may be in progress for them and then replay log files to recover them? I prefer a FLUSH LOGS command that is limited to Maria not all things that might be considered a log in MySQL. Are there plans to provide more engine specific commands? What is the purpose of a 'Row checksum'? Comments in the code state that this uses 1 byte and another that it uses 4 bytes. How many bytes on disk are used? -- Mark Callaghan mdcallag@gmail.com
