I’m confused now… ![:scratch:](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/1X/76d1620bec252bfac07050c889ff5a91dc8a9c25.gif ":scratch:")

I’ve deleted from my SQL database all tables, that Ignition 7.8.1. creates (I first stopped Ignition).  
But I can still see current alarms in Alarm status table and alarm history in Alarm Journal Table??  
How is that possible?

Another thing, which confuses me, are Journals.  
I have two different projects on one Ignition gateway. For each project I’ve defined one SQL database, one device (PLC), one Audit profile and one Journal Profile… so each project has his own database connection, device, audit and journal profile.

But I can see all Current alarms both projects in the Alarm Status Table. There is a property 'Journal Name’for Alarm Status Table, but it seems, that it has no effect.
