This means that in case, I do a save() operation, and the system crashes
before the checkin() happens, the next time I bring up the server, I would
get the non checked-in version (unless of course I do a restore())?
Also, if on bringing up the server, without doing a server, and then making
changes, I save and checkin successfully, the version that I wanted to
checkin (but couldn't because of the crash) will be lost right?
I am just curious. Would this mean that in my CMS, every time I bring up
the server, do I see to it that all the versionable nodes are restored to
their base versions, if the versioned data is very important to me? I want
to make sure this is recommended, so that I can proceed with this
implementation. Or is there any other solution?
Also, just a small thought. Wouldn't it be more convenient if, for
versionable nodes, a save() operation ALSO did the checkin as well? Or are
there some issues with this?
Thanks,
Sridhar
