Hi database guru's,
I am not sure if I am posting in the correct area so please in that case forgive me and be so kind to "show me the way" ![]()
In the Sybase ASE 15 mydbserver.errorlog I found the following records after server reboot:
(the system has been rebooted via the standard os process, no crash or anything)

Can somebody explain this info, is it a normal and common boot sequence which was executed?
I think the "recovery" records are normal but can someone please confirm?

I think the "recovery" records are normal but can someone please confirm?
Do the "REDO" messages show that transaction log was checked for any open, to-be-executed (committed) entries?
Does anyone have more info about "recovery checkpoint"?
Should I worry, could DB be corrupted? (I ran a dbcc checkdb on this db which went fine)
Thank you very much
