Talk:Transaction processing system

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I thought this article was written from an application perspective, so I added a few lines to explain the general principle, and to clarify that fundamentally transaction processing is not limited to applications but pertains to any environment where data must be maintained in a coordinated, controlled way (ACID).

Frankly, I don't believe transaction processing is limited to online processing. IMHO also some batch processes are to be seen as a series of 'logical units of work' that must be managed as transactions, and that is what database systems actually do. Rbakels 09:25, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
