Re: can a Commit interruption damage files?

Thank you for your answer Jean-Claude,

When I said data seems to be lost, I meant all the data (e.g. fully
committed in a previous process some minutes ago), not only the one
committed at the moment of interruption. Typically, I open a storage
and get my view size (which is non nul), then Add some rows and
interrupt my process while committing the changes. If then I reopen my
storage, the view size has dropped to zero.
