<< Does anybody know whether an MMBase transaction is equivalent to a
database transaction? >>
No, they are not equivalent.
<<If no, is there another way to use the roll-back recovery feature of
databases to guarantee the integrity of the MMBase cloud when an error
occurs during an MMBase transaction? >>
Not yet.
The storage classes were designed to be able to make use of database transactions.
This would, in time, allow for database transactions and recovery to be used when committing MMbase transactions.
For this to happen, we first have to get rid of the support classes though, as this necessates changes in the core regarding (explicit) use of storage functionality.
