Does the definition of a transaction vary depending on technology? The high level definition is basically a 'single unit of work'. However, in oracle a transaction is a commit, in J2EE EJB world a transaction can include an in memory change to a variable, in sql server, i think selects are included in the definition of a transaction.
I heard a guy on the radio who claims to run a company that 'implemented one the highest transaction data warehouses in the world'. To me that is an oxymoron. By definition data warehouses are read mostly, with period data loads.
has anyone else noticed this? any comments?
