[MonetDB-users] deleting sql_logs and disappearing tables

Hi,

Newly created tables disappear if I follow this sequence of actions:

1. Create a new table and insert data into it. 2. Shut down MonetDB. 3. Manually remove the sql_logs folder. 4. Start MonetDB 5. Now the newly created table is gone.

What exactly is the purpose if the sql_logs folder, and when is it safe to delete it?

The reason I deleted the sql_logs folder in the first place, is that a while ago I got into a corrupt DB state, and the mserver prompted me to remove the log folder. Doing so fixed the DB and it was usable again, so I assumed deleting the sql_logs folder would always be ok before starting Monet.
