This is *excellent* news! Thank you so much for implementing nested transactions in SQLite! As far as I was concerned, and AFAIK had argued in the past, that was the single most important piece of missing functionality. Something whose presence can make reliable database development an order of magnitude easier. Unlike some add-on features which could be done in wrappers, nested transactions was definitely something that was only appropriate to be implemented in the same low level as normal transactions in the DBMS. Its about code being able to declare and have enforced at any level of granularity that a set of operations is atomic, as a transaction, without worrying about what calling code is doing with transactions, and making it easier to do error handling and retry/abort etc. I'm now a step closer to being able to easily implement my Muldis D relational database language over SQLite. I'll hopefully be able to start testing in a few weeks, assuming that DBD::SQLite et al / the Perl bindings are still functional under Mac OS X and Linuxen with the new version. -- Darren Duncan _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
