Hi John, Maybe you should look at using a OPF (Object Persistent Framework) to solve your transaction issues, as well as lookups etc... I have ported the TechInsite tiOPF version 2 to Free Pascal and have been using it with Lazarus in a commercial environment for the last 8 months with great success. Before that I have used tiOPF under Delphi for the last 3 years.
I understand that moving over to a OPF for data and object handling is a huge learning curve, but soon you will start reaping the rewards. One of the great things about using a OPF (and there are many others) is that DB handling is all done for you as well as transactions. All you need to work with is you related objects and just go Object.Save or Object.Load. Switching database backend is also a no brainer, just change a Compiler Define (nothing else in code changes). To read more about the tiOPF and how it works go to the following link. http://www.techinsite.com.au/tiOPF The website is a bit out of date, so is the documentation, but the internals of the OPF still apply to Ver.2.
