None of my database references (Date's "Introduction to Database
Systems" and Garcia-Molina's "Database Systems - The Complete Book",
in particular) seem to talk about PITR at all.  At least, there's no
index entry for it.  And a google search for "point in time recovery"
yields mostly marketing fluff.

Is there a good reference for this that someone can point me to?  I'm
interested in exactly how it'll work, especially in terms of how logs
are stored versus the main data store, effects on performance, etc.

Thanks, and sorry for the newbie question.  :-(
