: Is the new autocommit=false code atomic (the new check point is successfully : made and moved to or its not)? If not I imagine it could be made to be without : too much work right?
No matter what work we do in Java code to try and garuntee atomicity, the JVM can't garuntee that File IO buffers are flushed unless the JVM is shutdown cleanly, so i don't see how we could possibly make any claims of atomicity in the event of hard process (or OS) termination. i'd be happy to be proven wrong by someone who knows more about IO, filesystems, and the JVM Specification. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
