doCheckpoint

doCheckpoint();

The doCheckpoint method of the JadeDatabaseAdmin class causes a database checkpoint operation to be queued to the database worker thread.

This method is intended for use by backup algorithms and mechanisms that need knowledge of journal activity and recovery restart points and which require the ability to cause recovery restart point re-evaluation. See also the getLastCheckpoint method.

The processing burden injected by the initiation of a checkpoint is not easily determined, as system activity is a major factor; however, there is always a cost to performance, as I/O must be performed. Inappropriate use of the doCheckpoint method could cause severe performance degradation.
