IFF I made a logical sequence attachment error {a boo_boo}::
1K apologies
IFF I bruised your ego::
1M apologies
IFF I insulted your pride::
1G apologies
IFelse
My goal was to clear up common ignorance of where the ACID properties
came from::
Mathematics ==>Electro-Mechanical Engineering ==>Electronics Engineering
==>DataBase Weenies ==>(accounting)Codes.
OK? That's my thesis and conclusion:: sprinkle with apologies as
necessary. I do knowledge that DataBase (weeny) vendors are the
Microsoft of Robustness and Reliability, espoused by the current state
of affairs in transaction processes, which is now a staple of modern
computations, much like MicroSoft made computers so idiots can
participate too. No arguments therein.
BUT, I take the time to 'educate' folks for a very important reason::
Distributed and parallel processing, now entering it's
fourth/fifth/sixth/<whatever> rendition, offers up fundamental
mathematically based constructs, that can be realized in
(electronic)hardware or Software
or both, to build 'systems' that far exceed the robustness of ACID
properties currently found in a current database scheme. Furthermore,
whores like Oracle, need to be retired from the computational landscape,
as they are the robber barrons of yore and we just do not need them any
more. I.E. learn the basics and implement new constructs
in distributed and parallel schemes (aka the cluster).
Fundamental and sound and proven principals of mathematics and EE
provide solutions for many 'degrees of freedom' for more robust
solutions than the Vendor hyperbole of Database vendors. And yes, your
favorite University, and Wiki*, have failed to accurately document this;
nothing I can do about that but share, as I am doing here.
OK? So, the interested can do their own research, and others can trudge
along their merry way. (The apologies are sincere, but, I am a bit
crass:: no apologies on that note).
hth,
James
