This server is does not come with ECC-memory. How "bad" would it be to run a database server on a non ecc server?

  As said other places, they have ECC servers to: http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex6 http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex6

    I never meant to criticise, I saw that they have ECC-servers as well, I just wondered what the implications would be if running a database on a non ecc server, as I've never really understood how much damage it could cause.

      Short answer: ECC will save you from having corrupt data written to your database if one of the DIMMs are corrupt.

        Or more importantly, if cosmic rays hit your data in the wrong way.
