Database logging in an X/Open DTP environment
Databases in the X/Open distributed transaction processing (DTP) environment must use unbuffered logging. Unbuffered logging ensures that the database server logical logs are always in a consistent state and can be synchronized with the transaction manager. If a database created with buffered logging is opened in an X/Open DTP environment, the database status automatically changes to unbuffered logging. The database server supports both ANSI-compliant and non-ANSI databases. For more information, see Transaction managers.
