Summary: More on debit-credit


1.1 GB *is* the standard size of the database for Debit_Credit,
according to the original specification. That's without mirroring,
which is optional. If the HISTORY relation is not divided (which it
probably isn't, on the Sequent), I wonder if the tail is being locked?
This has been an issue for us; if the tail is not locked, one runs
the risk of losing history data. If it is locked, there is a big hot
spot.
