Wow, I didn't know [transaction] nests! Thanks. I had written some untrustworthy code to only invoke [transaction] on the outermost stack frame; it's great to know that I can get rid of it. >From the documentation: "Also, BEGIN does not nest, so you have to make sure no other transactions are active before starting a new one. The 'transaction' method takes care of all of these details automatically." You might want to be a little bit more clear about the fact that [transaction] nests even though BEGIN does not. -- Andy Goth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
