Ryan,

That is textbook and that is how I learned too... in real life things are not 
so atomic (even the
nuclear device has many many many atoms, you can't throw one atom at someone 
and call it
explosion). 

if I say 'Oh and yesterday we did "x" commits and "y" rollbacks per hour', the 
management won't
give rats-where-sun-doesn't-shine. But if I can say 'Yesterday we averaged 
about 1500 orders per
hour, management will stay awake for the reaining statements.

e.g. for me Booking an order may mean 5 inserts, 4 updates .. only when all 
these are successful
I'll say, "I successfully booked an order" and this is what is in real life. 
Although I have never
worked on Oracle applications, I don't think they count the commits there .. it 
is probably more
complex than that.
