Dear Debug, I have gone through the site before. I have read through but I am still quite confuse. I would just like to check with you. So in my case Log sequence number 0 76508130 means 0 byte written to my log file is it? How about the value 76508130 what doest it represents? So when will the log file will be written ? Thanks.
