From 436b55db1ff238ec467b07a74b088f6fcfaf927c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ronnie Sahlberg Date: Mon, 25 May 2009 17:04:42 +1000 Subject: New attempt at TDB transaction nesting allow/disallow. Make the default be that transaction is not allowed and any attempt to create a nested transaction will fail with TDB_ERR_NESTING. If an application can cope with transaction nesting and the implicit semantics of tdb_transaction_commit(), it can enable transaction nesting by using the TDB_ALLOW_NESTING flag.
