Description Liangent 2009-12-16 05:07:47 UTC

Although it may be a little bit complex, it can be useful.

Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2009-12-16 10:11:45 UTC

Please explain what you mean by "transaction support".

Comment 2 Liangent 2009-12-18 04:52:38 UTC

Just like transaction support of DBMS. Follow [[ACID]] rules when clients query data and/or edit pages if they request to start transactions.

Comment 3 Max Semenik 2009-12-18 07:27:19 UTC

This bug makes no sense. All database write queries are transactioned wherever appropriate.

Comment 4 Liangent 2009-12-18 10:41:07 UTC

I'm not talking about low-level database queries. I mean something like:

api.php?action=transaction&operation=start
// ...
// any requests here are [[ACID]]
// ...
api.php?action=transaction&operation=commit

Comment 5 Roan Kattouw 2009-12-18 10:49:31 UTC

This would be a complex feature to support, for little gain (AFAICT).
