Who needs 'em anyway?
- wicknicks 17y agoI don't use them a lot too. But I suppose companies like Amazon, Barnes & Nobles probably require a lot of transaction support (otherwise their shopping carts could get really messy).
- jrockway 17y agoMany simple operations require transactions to be correct. If you've ever implemented a web request handler where you read session data at the beginning and write the whole session at the end; you lost data if you weren't using transactions and the user opened a new tab in the middle.
