Are there audit trail and recoverability features in Sage-ST?
The capability to record all transactions and roll forward from previous dates gives an audit trail and recovery capability. These features are often provided within database management systems, and are provided with Sage-ST as a logging option. However, they are seldom used in final applications because of the excessive time and data storage requirements. An application using Sage-ST may be developed to provide full or partial capabilities in this area using the Ada language and Sage-ST provided packages. More often, applications regularly backup or copy current data to another device to provide data recoverability. Sage-ST also provides a facility to rebuild or recover current database information in place. Will Sage-ST interface to DBMS’s and development systems? Sage-ST works very well with other database and development systems. It does not require a concurrent process to be executing and managing resources and therefore does not compete with other database systems which do. Sage-
