Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-2490:
----------------------------------------------

Thanks Mike, I think this info is essential to add to javadoc for 
startNestedUserTransaction:

"And Each user transaction can only nest a single readonly transaction and a 
single separate read/write transaction. "

apart from that, the rest was clear.

I'll update the comments.

Oh, one more dumb question, does the store enforce the readOnly flag for these 
nested transactions?
I assume it does, but comments in the langage layer seem to indicate otherwise.

> LanguageConnectionContext has these four methods (as well as other 
> commit/rollback methods) to manage transactions and specifically nested 
> transactions.
> void beginNestedTransaction(boolean readOnly) throws StandardException;
> void commitNestedTransaction() throws StandardException;
> TransactionController getTransactionCompile();
> TransactionController getTransactionExecute();
> getTransactionCompile() returns the same as getTransactionExecute() if not in 
> a nested transaction.
> nested transactions started out as "compile time" transactions  but are now 
> used at runtime, for example in permission lookup and identity columns(?),
> thus the name getTransactionCompile() can confuse readers.
> A cleaner api might be to just have a single getTransaction() method that 
> returns the current transaction, which is main transaction (non-nested) except
> between calls to
>    beginNestedTransaction() 
>   commitNestedTransaction()
> I think that is the logic today, one one transaction is active, either the 
> nested one of the main one.
