Full service has been restored. The database was off-line from about 13:30 to 17:30 Amsterdam time (CEST). Certain queries were taking several seconds to execute, and after a few minutes the server was getting completely backlogged. We updated the SQL database schema by adding a new index, and this fixed the problem. We are not 100% certain why this problem happened now, but we will investigate. Again, apologies for this outage. -- Shane Kerr Software Engineering Manager RIPE NCC
