How did he achieve transactionality?

• brightball 9y ago
  Anywhere that he'd need transaction safety in the system, everything was contained in a single file. There were other jobs that could rebuild indexes by scan, repair associations or break things down into parts of use on other areas of the site but the areas that needed safety were lumped together as a single record (similar to the NoSQL approach honestly). It wasn't a general purpose setup, but it worked for his purposes.
