Well, for things like race conditions I don't know that you can create reproducable test cases. My point was that this bug was exposed by databases with workloads that involved very high transaction rates. I know in the case of my client this is due to some sub-optimal design decisions, and I believe the other case was similar. My suggestion is that having a test that involves a lot of row-by-row type operations that generate a very high transaction rate would help expose these kinds of bugs. Of course if someone can come up with a self-contained reproducable test case for this race condition that would be great as well. :) -- Jim C.
