Partitioned Transaction Log File
The structure of the log file in Ingres II 2.5 is changed from a single file to 1-16 logically striped files of equal size. Properly configured, partitioning in this manner encourages better log performance by spreading disk contention across multiple disks instead of concentrating it on a single device. Ingres system administration is made simpler, as the transaction log file can be expanded by adding another partition, instead of resizing an existing file or partition. The full log file paths are now defined through Configuration Manager or CBF rather than through the symbol table.
