[Zope-dev] FW: Zope & optimistic transactions.

[Paul Everitt]

Below is the one response to your message, by someone from ZC.  I find 
it hard to locate the parts about "censored in a way that would not be 
allowed for most commercial products", "the discussion was quickly moved 
line", and "these issues are kept strictly confidential".

"""
Please read one or more of the following:


http://www.amk.ca/zodb/zodb-zeo.html
http://www.zope.org/Members/jim/ZODB/ApplicationLevelConflictResolution
http://www.mit.edu/afs/sipb/project/python/doc/DevGuide/Persistence.html

They describe the ZODB and its optimistic concurrency strategy in 
detail, and should answer any questions you may have about the purpose 
and handling of ConflictErrors.  They also contain (or link to) other 
information that you really should know before attempting to analyze the 
ZODB in any depth.
