Hi,
I read in one of the mysql mailling lists a message regarding transaction
support posted by Monty. IIRC the message was posted around 2000-10-11 and
suggested that transaction support would be available in downloadable
binaries (at that time) in two to four weeks, this was due to the sleepycat
tables always requiring a primary key and some heavy inhouse testing.
I Downloaded the src tarballs for mysql-3.23.27-beta-win-src.zip and
db-3.2.3b.tar.gz had had a poke around slq/ha_berkeley.[ch] and the db.h
files. I've the impression that transaction support has been successfully
compiled and tested to a degree. However, there are references to a member of
the DB type (__DB struct) that doesnt exist in that structure, but is a
member of the DBT type ( does app_private ring any bells? ). An expample of
this is the berkley_cmp_packed_key() function in ha_berkeley.c
Is there a more recent version of the ha_berkeley.[ch] files that will
compile ? I've tried to use bitkeeper to get the dev source tree, following
the instructions in the mysql manual, and ended up with lots of revision
control/log related files - but none of the source files. I've also tried the
sourceforge CVS repository but it appears not to be up and running (access
denied) for joe public.
