Reviews

You have to like a book that defines a disaster as "a technical term for an unrecoverable failure." Bernstein and Newcomer continue with their great explanations and analogies throughout Principles of Transaction Processing, a clear, concise book on the problems that are inherent in large, fast computer systems that take on big jobs. The authors explain general online transaction processing (OLTP) principles, and then detail scheduling (including queueing), locking, monitoring, serialization, and--extensively--data protection and trouble recovery.

This book distinguishes itself from other OLTP books by its attention to new OLTP challenges posed by the Internet. Although these Web issues make up a small part of the book, they are quite good, and were obviously written with the Web in mind.

This is an excellent overview of transaction processing that will help you understand what's going on inside your organization's mainframes or give you an idea of how OLTP applies to the Internet.
