>> Spending hours to debug code to find why data got trashed and then not be able to plug in transactions, is just dumb.
Can you give brief examples of how you are retrofitting transactions to (say) a SQL Server RV app? I mean I know the mechanics, just interested in how you typically get it in there if they're not passing all data access through a class. Do you gofish for Tableupdate() (assuming they use it; I've seen SKIP or even go recno() used to commit!) and insert transactions wherever indicated, or try to move everything to a class or ???
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
