Product Description
Review
"The best introduction to transaction processing systems I have ever read." - K.Torp, ACM Computing Reviews, November 1997
Product Description
"Principles of Transaction Processing" is a clear, concise guide for anyone involved in developing applications, evaluating products, designing systems, or engineering products. This book provides an understanding of the internals of transaction processing systems, describing how they work and how best to use them. It includes the architecture of transaction processing monitors, transactional communications paradigms, and mechanisms for recovering from transaction and system failures. Use of transaction processing systems in business, industry, and government is increasing rapidly; the emergence of electronic commerce on the Internet is creating new demands. As a result, many developers are encountering transaction processing applications for the first time and need a practical explanation of techniques. Software engineers who build and market operating systems, communications systems, programming tools, and other products used in transaction processing applications will also benefit from this thorough presentation of principles. Rich with examples, it describes commercial transaction processing systems, transactional aspects of database servers, messaging systems, Internet servers, and object-oriented systems, as well as each of their subsystems. This title features: easy-to-read descriptions of fundamentals and real world examples illustrating key points. It focuses on practical issues faced by developers. It explains most major products and standards, including IBM's CICS, IMS, and MQSeries; X/Open's XA, STDL, and TX; BEA Systems' TUXEDO; Digital's ACMS; Transarc's Encina; AT&T/NCR's TOP END; Tandem's Pathway/TS; OMG's OTS; and, Microsoft's Microsoft Transaction Server.

Format:Paperback
Good basic text about transaction processing. Much easier to read than Gray/Reuter or Weikum/Vossen, but hence also more superficial in content. It contains neither much theory nor much implementation details.
Format:Paperback
An excellent general introduction into the field. Probably the best introductory book in the field.
5 star content - but I would agree with the reviewer that said "just for some reason I couldn't stop falling asleep while reading it!". The presentation is rather too dry and could do with being spiced up. (Hence only 4 stars)
Format:Paperback
Phil Bernstein is one of the gurus in the database community. This is an excellent book. It is well written and very informative. I highly recommend it.

Overall good, but a little dry
If you're looking for a smaller & cheaper tome than Gray & Reuter's TP bible, look no further. This book explains stuff in good detail... Read more

Buy this book if you plan on touching MTS!
This book says more about the programming model implied by MTS than any book currently on the market, despite the fact that MTS is covered only briefly in one chapter.
