Re: [Exist-open] Transaction Support

[Wolfgang M. <wol...@ex...>]

Hi,

Sorry I did not reply earlier. I actually just started to work on 
logging and recovery during the last days because there's an increasing 
need for crash recovery in other projects I'm working with.

In particular, I'm currently trying to add a log facility to the core 
storage classes. This also implies transactions, but more on the 
internal system level. My plans are to concentrate on recovery 
functionality first. To make things easier, I will ignore those parts of 
the system which are not vital for a db recovery after a crash. A 
working log facility would nevertheless be a first step on the way to 
full transaction support.

What are your ideas? I'll be happy to discuss further this issue, maybe 
off list.

Wolfgang
