[PyPerSyst-Devel] basic question about clock

[Donnal W. <don...@ya...>]

Hi all,

The Clock and EngineClock classes obviously play central roles in
PyPerSyst, and at one time I was certain that I understood those
roles. Months later, however, I am having a hard time seeing why
the time stamp is needed. If the transaction log stores
transactions in order in which they were executed, why is this
sequestial order not sufficient for reconstructing the database if
a crash occurs?

Regards,
Donnal
