Quoting Jerry:
But do you use transactional processing? It's quite a bit different
than non-transactional, and most web sites do NOT use it. And when
you're dealing with potential concurrent updates from multiple sources,
it's a huge concern.

Short answer: yes, I have used transactional processing. But only a
minimal amount.
Something like:
Insert junk into orders;
SELECT MAX(ID) AS OrderID from orders;
Wrapped in a transaction.

If two orders go in spectacularly close, the transaction will still
work properly.
I'm sure I have much more reading on the subject :-)

Quoting NC:
You understand SSL very well.

Hmm. I know that it encrypts data as it travels over the Internet, and
should be used for all sensitive form submissions and all pages
containing sensitive information.
Is there anything more a person needs to know?


Quoting NC:
You have basic domain expertise in banking (i.e., you know what a
routing number is, etc.)

Hmm. I do know what a routing number is, but only because I set myself
up with PayPal. Not really that incredible.
I suspect this might be my weakness.

Does anyone have any suggestions for learning more on the subject?
