[Jsdc-info] Should i call it transactions?

[JSDC u. information. <jsd...@li...>]

I am currently implementing functionality that groups actions into =
larger entities.=20
=20
This is for two reasons:=20
=20
* When a user clicks the undo button, the user wants the application to =
undo what the user did. Not one of the, say, twenty-four thousand =
aggregate calculations that was the consequence of that action.=20
=20
* To mimic the behavior of a real transactional database, where a =
procedure can return to a known state if something goes wrong during an =
operation involving multiple steps.=20
=20
So. This is beginning to look an awful lot like transactions. Of course =
JSDC can't control it's environment like a database can so it will never =
be exactly like the real thing. On the other hand, one could say that it =
is real transactions since JSDC doesn't have constraints and locks that =
can be violated.=20
Also, a javascript application is currently a strictly single user =
thing.=20
Hence, i'm leaning towards calling it transactions. =20
=20
Neat, huh? =20

PS.=20
To call the JSDC data handling a transactional database system might =
still a bit of a stretch :-)=20
