I'm swapping the database (As i said i would in the previous announcement)...

This may result in a downtime and a loss of data from this point forward...

I'm hoping the game will be back to "normal" inside 12hrs...



Just a heads up as i'm not sure at what point the database will "disappear" so to speak...

OK, so just to be clear, I shouldn't order any AC etc. because it'll be lost anyways?

I'm not going to be losing the 2 A319s and the Q400 that I ordered hours ago, will I?

If the Database dosnt crash it will be OK - But as TorqueWrench said, (MAY Crash) - In the event it does he will revert to the last know backup which is 20:52 GMT - If it does crash and you ordered before this time, you will be OK and get your order, if you order NOW and it crashes you will NOT get any orders, nor will any adjustments to your routes/ sales and gates be valid.

If you did order after this point, it will rollback and you will be at the same point at the roll as you was at exactly 20:52 GMT.

Geesh I hope you understand this - If not - READ it again......

Also, if the Sim Game goes down, the forum will now stay up as TorqueWrench made it on its own server -

Okay, I should get my A319s, not sure about the Q400.

Just wondering, if the database goes back, would one recieve their cash back or would it be lost? Thanks for your help/advice in this situation, because I don't know if ti reverts back if that means that the money would be returned. Thanks a lot

P.S.: Do you think it will be "normal" by the month change?

[Atlantic_Air]

Reverting means that the game would be restored to some point in the past and all game play after that point would be gone, as though it never happened. So your money would not be 'lost' it never happened because that point in the game never happened. for example, if it was restored to Oct 1, then all the game play after that is gone. No money earned and no money spent. All Route changes, gone. All purchases, sales and bankrupties, gone. You have to play October over again.

Well, if you did read the start of this post you wouldnt ask this question -

The database is under stress durring month change and that is when many rows are inserted and massive queries are ran. Just read the rest of it . Also that large a MySQL insert could take awhile when it is moved , took me 30min once for just a 1gb sql file.

Just hope that when it is done it is fixed and that it won't happen anytime soon agian. When it is done it is done and Im sure you will know .

But please Barbula, the almighty travelhouse is telling us that the database was stopped. How can it be under stress, how can many rows be inserted, how can massive queries be executed? Surely you can't be saying travelhouse is wrong, can you?

Oh Dear Highspeed there you go again, this is called another (Side Swipe) so read this, I am sure you fit the bill -

Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879–April 18, 1955) was a theoretical physicist, and is widely regarded as the greatest scientist of the 20th century. He proposed the theory of relativity and also made major contributions to the development of quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and cosmology. He was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect in 1905 (his "miracle year") and "for his services to Theoretical Physics."
