"""Sample data manager
This class provides a trivial data-manager implementation and doc
strings to illustrate the the protocol and to provide a tool for
writing tests.
Our sample data manager has state that is updated through an inc
method and through transaction operations.
When we create a sample data manager:
>>> dm = DataManager()
It has two bits of state, state:
>>> dm.state
0
and delta:
>>> dm.delta
0
Both of which are initialized to 0. state is meant to model
committed state, while delta represents tentative changes within a
transaction. We change the state by calling inc:
>>> dm.inc()
which updates delta:
>>> dm.delta
1
but state isn't changed until we commit the transaction:
>>> dm.state
0
To commit the changes, we use 2-phase commit. We execute the first
stage by calling prepare. We need to pass a transation. Our
sample data managers don't really use the transactions for much,
so we'll be lazy and use strings for transactions:
>>> t1 = '1'
>>> dm.prepare(t1)
The sample data manager updates the state when we call prepare:
>>> dm.state
1
>>> dm.delta
1
This is mainly so we can detect some affect of calling the methods.
Now if we call commit:
>>> dm.commit(t1)
Our changes are"permanent". The state reflects the changes and the
delta has been reset to 0.
>>> dm.state
1
>>> dm.delta
0

"""Provide the ability to rollback transaction state
Savepoints provide a way to:
- Save partial transaction work. For some data managers, this
could allow resources to be used more efficiently.
- Provide the ability to revert state to a point in a
transaction without aborting the entire transaction. In
other words, savepoints support partial aborts.
Savepoints don't use two-phase commit. If there are errors in
setting or rolling back to savepoints, the application should
abort the containing transaction. This is *not* the
responsibility of the data manager.
Savepoints are always associated with a transaction. Any work
done in a savepoint's transaction is tentative until the
transaction is committed using two-phase commit.

done later:
