- Are there any operating systems (either commercial or research) that
- include transaction processing as part of the core operating system.
-
- ie: Can you start a transaction, update two files, and then complete
- the transaction; with all the commit and rollback implications.
-
- If so, is there any experimentation going into building a database
- system that makes use of these transactions in such a way that both
- files and database tables could be updated in a single transaction.
