hi, do you think MySQL transactions would be a good addition in the core of xoops? I know that in order for the transactions to work the db type should be InnoDB but i dont know what kind of implications would come with that...I haven't worked with MySQL transactions so far but seem to be quite a safe way to manipulate data in the db...your comments?

Transactions are at their best when complex database operations that involves many changements in different tables need to be atomised. Or all pass or no one. It prevents that updates are only partly done in eg a ledger system to avoid unbalancing, where always two accounts has to be modified, one to credit and one to debit.

I know some modules use it, but I assume that XOOPS itself doesn't need it, because it runs already for years without problems on ISAM.

thanks for the reply mate!

So if someone needs to use transactions in a module it is possible with XOOPS no matter if the main tables run on ISAM? I mean, if i wanted to make a module with an innoDB database would transactions work? I reall dont have something in mind, :) I just found out about transactions in php a few days ago, I did a little research and just wanted to know if this could work with a XOOPS module and if there are any implications with the rest of the XOOPS core code or db.

cheers

MediaWiki is an example of a module using InnoDB, but I'm not aware to which extend.
