Talk:Transaction processing

message: The article says that transactions are implemented using the double copy method.  This is incomplete and misleading.  At least some mention should be made of journaling methods as a means of implementing transactions, or the  sentences describing the double copy method should be turned into a link to another article describing transaction implmentations.

thread_title:  article only mentions double-copy implementation 

message: This article and the ACID article need to be merged, as they cover a great deal of the same ground.  I've just largely rewritten this article; I'll be happy to merge the two at a later date when I have a bit more time to work on it.  The article also needs some expansion.

thread_title: ACID and this article

message: What term might I look up to find info on electronic financial transaction processing? Thanks. --Remi0o 11:06, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Disambiguation helpful....  

message: I think Transaction Processing System should be merged into Transaction processing.  There is much overlap, and System issues can become a section within the more general article.  (SEWilco 06:11, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge proposal 

message: Would this be a good place to discuss this concept?  (I am using Microsoft jargon here, I don't know what lingo is useful in discussion of Oracle or other products).  It mainly has to do with locking and what is visible inside the transaction. I think it certainly is noteworthy.  Is there another article that discusses this?

text: There is no explicit mention of Isolation in this article, so I don't think it makes sense to add that link without considering the bigger picture.  For example note that the ACID section of this page is totally lame and really doesn't cover ACID at all.  This and many other pages under the heading of :Category:Transaction processing could use some serious editing.  You are most welcome to attempt any improvements if you are so inclined.  Don't worry about stepping on anyone's toes - no one owns this material.  Feel free to use the Talk page when in doubt, but don't be too shy about making changes directly if they seem like obvious, non-controversial improvements.  If someone disagrees or is inspired to further improve your edits, he or she can make further changes without anyone's taking it personally. - JCLately (talk) 15:13, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Transaction Isolation Levels? 

message: I am proposing that we merge Extreme Transaction Processing into the Implementation section article, at least until that technology becomes notable enough to warrant a separate article. Comments/Objections? Joshua Scott (talk) 04:37, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I would be in favor of such a merger. We need a source for the definition of the term, too. DavidLeeLambert (talk) 22:48, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

text: I am for deletion - this sounds like an arbitrary number and a marketing term, not anything actually meaningful to industry.  Given this request has been open two years, I am proposing deletion on that page now. prat (talk) 01:09, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

text: Agree, either merge or delete Extreme Transaction Processing.  See other merger propsal below. Peter Flass (talk) 13:07, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge Extreme Transaction Processing 

message: Transaction manager and Transaction processing monitor both redirect to this article. What do these terms mean? --Abdull (talk) 17:03, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  ''Transaction manager'' and ''Transaction processing monitor'' 

message: I have proposed that Transaction processing system be merged into this article, in whole or in part, because there seems to be considerable overlap.  I would suggest that Transaction processing system might be worthwhile to retain solely as a discussion of specific systems: UNIVAC TIP, IBM CICS, XDS CP-V transaction processing, whatever Burroughs had, DEC's systems for PDP-10 and VAX, Tuxedo, etc.  Note that this article has more on that topic than the other.

message: What about CICS and ACP/TPF?  These would seem to be the first things to come to mind when discussing transaction processing. Peter Flass (talk) 13:12, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
