- When using isbegin() and iscomit() to bracket transaction it is
- not clear from the manual what happens if the system should crash
- before the call to iscommit(). Is isrecover() smart enough to
- recognise that there is an uncompleted transaction. Or more likely
- is it the case that the transaction isn't logged until it is completed?
-
- I assume that this *is* handled correctly but I have been burned before
- by assuming that other people's programs do the sensible thing.
- (Mine alway do, of course! :-).
-
- Thanks, Russell.
