Обсуждение: Does anyone know what "embedded transactions" are?
Hi guys, Was just looking at the project page for Compiere, an Open Source ERP+CRM solution that is usually in the top 10 most popular SourceForge projects. They were attempting to port Compiere from Oracle to PostgreSQL, but have stopped (apparently) because PostgreSQL doesn't support "embedded transations". http://www.compiere.org/technology/independence.html Does anyone know what they're talking about? :-) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.

It is an unbelievable shame that the most active open source ERP can't use an open source database. Joe

I think so, but not with zeal. :-/ Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift > Joe -- "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.

Reading through their web page, they seem to have decided to try and fund moving their transactional issues into the Java container instead of getting nested transactions into PostgreSQL. It sounds retrograde and risky, but I suppose if they carry it off, they will attain true database independance.
