[fdo-internals] RE: FDO RFC 61 ready for review

[Dan Stoica]

Hi Sam,

My point is that the proposed API alllows for an a arbitrary number of save points. Meaning the user needs to keep track of them. And no, “release save point” is not necessary since I assume RollBack() is doing this.

Please let me understand: a collection of save points is actually a stack, right? If so then once the user rolls back to the save point #N (where N is the index in the stack) then all the save points with a higher number are dissolved. Therefore I believe a method to get the remaining save points is necessary. 

Thanks,
Dan.

Hi Dan,

If you look into the RFC you will find that there is already an API proposed to roll back to a save point : FdoITransaction::RollBack(FdoString* savePointName). Do you mean that should be additional API to do something like “release save point” ?

Thanks,
Sam

Hi,

Shouldn’t the API include a method to get back all the added save points? This would allow to programmatically rollback to a save point, I think.

Thanks,
Dan.
