Version 12.6 includes an option for restarting the server in the rare situation where there is no usable backup or transaction log, and no time to work with Sybase technical staff to develop alternatives. Before using this option, you must understand its implications for your database. For details, see “Emergency recovery without a transaction log” in Chapter 2, “System Recovery and Database Repair” of the Sybase IQ Troubleshooting and Error Messages Guide.
Transaction log mirror recommended
Sybase now recommends using a mirror log with IQ databases,
especially for sites that do not back up frequently. To add a mirror
log to an existing database, see “The
Transaction Log utility (dblog)” in Chapter
3, “Database Administration Utilities” of
the Sybase IQ Utility Guide.
