Database files
The data for each database consists of multiple files located in the same directory. All the database files start with the same name as defined by the value in the jdbc.url key. For Management Console for Unix, the database consists of the following files by default:
File | Description |
---|---|
console.lck | This file is used to determine if the database is in use. If console.lck exists, the server is currently running. This file is deleted once the database is properly shutdown. DO NOT BACKUP THIS FILE. |
console.log | This file contains the extra SQL statements that have modified the console database since the last checkpoint (something like the 'Redo-log' or 'Transaction-log', but just text.) For a normal shutdown this file is deleted once the database has completely shutdown. |
console.properties | This file contains general settings about the database including the console.properties entry 'modified'. If [modified=yes], the database is either running or was not closed correctly (because the close algorithm sets 'modified' to 'no' at the end). |
console.script | This file contains the SQL statements that make up the database up to the last checkpoint. |
