- 2PC is better than a standard transaction when dealing with multiple servers as it can recover in some circumstances (but not all). - 2PC (XA support as described by the X/Open group) is the only implementation of distributed transactions supported by many third party components -- that I'm aware of -- to the point where it is a part of the Java Spec on dealing with distributed transactions. - 2PC isn't very good in a number of circumstances, as such PostgreSQL should avoid its use when PostgreSQL has a choice in the matter -- like communication with other PostgreSQL servers. This is a case of learning to speak Japanese because all of the people you want to talk with only speak Japanese. It simply doesn't matter how good Esperanto is. -- Rod Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key: http://www.rbt.ca/rbtpub.asc
