-I'm tired of it for a different reason, namely that there are "use
-cases" where speed is not _relevant_. The REAL problem that is taking
-place is that people are talking past each other.
-
-- Some say, "It's too slow; no point in doing it."
-
- The fact that it may be too slow _for them_ means they probably
- shouldn't use it. I somehow doubt that there are Vastly Faster
- alternatives waiting in the wings.
-
-- The other problem that gets pointed out: "2PC is inherently
- fragile, and prone to deadlock."
-
- Again, those that _need_ to use 2PC will forcibly need to address
- those concerns in the way they manage their systems.
-
- Those that can't afford the fragility are not 'customers' for use of
- 2PC. And, pointing back to the speed controversy, it is not at all
- obvious that there is any other alternative for handling distributed
- processing that _totally addresses_ the concerns about fragility.
-
-Those that can't afford these costs associated with 2PC will simply
-Not Use It.
-
-Probably in much the same way that most people _aren't_ using
-replication. And most people _aren't_ using PL/R. And most people
-_aren't_ using any number of the contributed things.
-
-If 2PC gets implemented, that simply means that there will be another
-module that some will be interested in, and which many people won't
-bother using. Which shouldn't seem to be a particularly big deal.

-2PC is absolutely essential when you have to have both parts of the
-transaction complete for a logical unit of work. For a project that
-needs it, if you don't have it you will be forced to go to another tool,
-or perform lots of custom programming to work around it.
-
-If you have 2PC and it is ten times slower than without it, you will
-still need it for projects requiring that capability.
-
-Now, a good model to start with is a very good idea. So some discussion
-and analysis is a good thing. From the looks of it, Satoshi Nagayasu
-has done a very good job. Having a functional 2PC would be a huge
-feather in the cap of PostgreSQL.

-Just so.
-
-I would be completely unsurprised if an attempt to use 2PC to support
-generalized "multimaster replication" would involve 10-fold slowdowns
-as compared to having all the activity take place on one database.
-
-Which would imply that 2PC is not a tool that may be appropriately
-used to naively do replication. But that should not come as any grand
-surprise.
-
-To each tool the right job, and to each job the right tool...
-
-There seems to be enough room for there to be evidence both of 2PC
-being useful for improving performance, and for it to cut
-performance:
-
- - TPC benchmarks often specify the inclusion of Tuxedo as a
- component; the combination of vendors would surely NOT put it
- on the list if it were not an aid to performance;
-
- - There is also indication that there can be a cost, notably in the
- form of the concerns of deadlock, but it should also be obvious
- that slow network links would lead to _hideous_ increases in
- latency.
-
-As you say, even if there is a substantial cost, it's still worthwhile
-if a project needs it.

-Transaction monitor.
-
-"Overview
-The OpenORB Transaction Service is a very scalable transaction monitor
-which also provides several extensions like XA management, a management
-interface to control all transaction processes and a high reliable
-recovery system.
-
-By coordinating OpenORB and OpenORB Transaction Service, you provide a
-reliable and powerful foundation for building large scalable distributed
-applications.
-
-Datasheet
-The OpenORB Transaction Service is a fully compliant implementation of
-the OMG Transaction Service specification.
-The OpenORB Transaction Service features are :
- Management of distributed transactions with a two phase commit
-protocol
- Sub Transactions management ( nested transactions )
- Propagation of the transaction context between CORBA objects
- Management of distributed transactions propagation through databases
-with the XA protocol
- Automatic logs to be able to make recovery in case of failures
- Can be used as a transaction initiator or subordinate
- High-performance, multiple thread architecture
- Developed with POA
- Provides a management interface to control all transactions
- Full support of JTA
- JDBC pooling and automatic resource enlistment
-
-
-Download
-To download the OpenORB Transaction Service, do one of the following :
- CVS : you can use CVS to grab the sources directly.
- FTP : you get either a CVS snapshot or a prebuilt version
-To use one of these possibilities, go to the Download Services page.
-
-ChangeLog
-August 15th 2001. Version 1.2.0.
- Changed the transaction client side to support late binding to the
-transaction monitor.
- Bug fixed in the transactional client interceptor. This bug was due to
-a change in the OpenORB behavior concerning the slot
-
-
-To get previous change log, please refer to the CHANGELOG file available
-within this service distribution."

-> Transaction monitor.
->
-> "Overview
-> The OpenORB Transaction Service is a very scalable
-> transaction monitor which also provides several extensions
-> like XA management, a management interface to control all
-> transaction processes and a high reliable recovery system.
->
-> By coordinating OpenORB and OpenORB Transaction Service, you
-> provide a reliable and powerful foundation for building large
-> scalable distributed applications.
->
-> Datasheet
-> The OpenORB Transaction Service is a fully compliant
-> implementation of the OMG Transaction Service specification.
-> The OpenORB Transaction Service features are :
-> Management of distributed transactions with a two phase
-> commit protocol
-> Sub Transactions management ( nested transactions )
-> Propagation of the transaction context between CORBA objects
-> Management of distributed transactions propagation through
-> databases with the XA protocol
-> Automatic logs to be able to make recovery in case of failures
-> Can be used as a transaction initiator or subordinate
-> High-performance, multiple thread architecture
-> Developed with POA
-> Provides a management interface to control all transactions
-> Full support of JTA
-> JDBC pooling and automatic resource enlistment
->
->
-> Download
-> To download the OpenORB Transaction Service, do one of the
-> following :
-> CVS : you can use CVS to grab the sources directly.
-> FTP : you get either a CVS snapshot or a prebuilt version
-> To use one of these possibilities, go to the Download Services page.
->
-> ChangeLog
-> August 15th 2001. Version 1.2.0.
-> Changed the transaction client side to support late binding
-> to the transaction monitor.
-> Bug fixed in the transactional client interceptor. This bug
-> was due to a change in the OpenORB behavior concerning the slot
->
->
-> To get previous change log, please refer to the CHANGELOG
-> file available within this service distribution."

-Yes, this is correct. There are certain phases of the protocol in which the
-transaction state must be re-instated from the log file after a crash of the
-DB server. The re-instatement must occur prior to any connections being
-accepted by the server. Additionally, the coordinator must be fully
-recoverable as well. The coordinator may, depending on the phase of the
-commit/abort, contact child servers after it crashes. The requirement is
-that during log replay, the transaction structures might have to be fully
-reconstructed and remain in-place after log replay has completed, until the
-disposition of the (sub)transaction is settled by the coordinator. All
-dependent on the phase of course.
