Hi Nancy,

>If there is only one tableupdate being issued, as Pablo mentions, then, no, I don't see what benefit a transaction gives. What benefit do you see?

Doesn't wrapping the TableUpdate in a transaction ensure that ALL updates are applied?

If you are using Table buffering isn't it possible for TableUpdate to only apply SOME of the updates? What if an error occurs after sucessfully applying 2 records and then you hit a unique key violation, for example?

That's the benefit I see, (only if my understanding of TableUpdate is correct.)
