Re: How to merge 2 customers into 1?

David,

As I see it, journaling is one of those things that range from the very
simple to the utterly complicated, depending at what level you need to
involve. Most of the time though, (IMHO) is simple and can help a lot with
complex transactions. A while back Rob Berendt wrote this wonderful intro to
Journals:

Check it. I think you will find it worthwhile...

This is not something to be taken lightly and without study.

Ahh, so that's why I've never done or even seen anyone do a commit or a
rollback. Is this something that is widely used elsewhere? I mean how
many rpg shops in 100 use journalling and cc?

It's fairly widely used - I would estimate that 50-75% of shops with
home-grown applications use commitment control, and significantly higher
off-the-shelf counts.

Don't get me wrong: It is absolutely worth it. I just didn't want anyone

think that you could get there by flipping a couple of switches. The
entire
application should originally be designed with commitment control in
mind...
or the impact should be reviewed before implementing. You can try if you
like, but I wouldn't recommend it on a highly used production system.
