Talk:Atomicity (database systems)

message: The interface between database and programming environment may reintroduce problems that a programmer might naively expect atomic transactions to do away with. For instance, if an operation fails in a transaction, it is often the programmer's responsibility to detect that failure and manually roll back the transaction before retrying. Not doing so will result in a partially-completed transaction!
This was removed by DanPope. I think this text is an important point, but I'm not going to re-add it without support. (I put it there in the first place.) Is there a good place to put it in the article? Somewhere else to put it? --Chris Purcell 12:41, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  22 December 2006 

message: I removed the statement: "This is the main advantage of database over the file system" mainly because it appeared in an example of atomicity. Even if it is entirely true, it belongs in an area where the relative merits of the two items are being presented, not as part of a nuetral definition of atomicity.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freshbaked (talk • contribs) 18:58, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed unsubstantiated statement that did not seem to be relevant in context 

message: As a consequence, the transaction cannot be observed to be in progress by another database client. At one moment in time, it has not yet happened, and at the next it has already occurred in whole (or nothing happened if the transaction was cancelled in progress).

Is this correct? This statement seems to imply at least isolation as well (first part of the explanation is correct). It is also stronger than what is described in the ACID article.
Atomicity just seems to imply that I can observe partial transactions, but any partial transaction I observe will not be aborted.

Talk:Symmetric high-speed digital subscriber line

message: G. Symmetric High-speed Digital Subscriber Line is a weird title for this article:
* Symmetric High-speed Digital Subscriber Line is the technology, abbreviated to SHDSL,
* G.991.2 is the ITU-T recommendation standardizing it, the draft was called G.shdsl before the ITU-T assigned a recommendation number,
* G.SHDSL can be found in marketing material, apparently meaning the SHDSL implementation is or was compliant to the G.shdsl draft.
The current title appears to be the result of a blind substitute of the SHDSL acronym. I propose a move to Symmetric High-speed Digital Subscriber Line. BertK 19:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't know if 3000m is quoted in the standard, but I know that SHDSL can achieve much greater distances than that. I have a pair of modems that are currently running at max speed (2304kbps) over 3000m, and they are able to do 6000m  at speeds of 784kbps or less. I have also seen figures up to 10km quoted, but that may be dependent on wire gauge. I propose changing "may be up to 3,000 meters" to "may be up to 6,000 meters or more".

The section could probably handle a re-write and maybe some more references. It was a big deal at the time. She won by 900 odd votes, and there was a lot of christian/muslim crap going on at the time. Her religion and ties to the Hillsong church were, and are, actively promoted. And the religion of her opponent (a non-practising muslim) was referenced in this context. In the light of what happened in Lindsay, it seems that the 2004 Greenway pamphlets could have been dirty tricks by the Liberals to influence the election result.

So my point is that bohr's model of atom only works for hydrogen like single electronic systems and it can be derived by mathematics but calculating electronic energy, frequency, radius of rotation becomes exceptionally complex when we see multi-electronic systems. So I would recommend editors to remove misleading derivation or add a detail on how Moseley's experimental observation is in line with bohr's finding.
