MySQL upper layers know nothing much about transactions, it is all engine-specific - BEGIN and COMMIT processing is deferred to table handlers. It would incredibly easy for them to implement repeatable read snapshots :) (if thats what you mean by atomic read) > (*) Among other possibilities, just use MyISAM. How is that applicable to any discussion? Domas _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
