I think I mean joining.  What I need is:

 braam starts trans
   does A
   calls reiser: hans starts
   does B
   hans commits; nothing goes to disk yet
   braam does C
braam commits/aborts ABC now go or don't

no, that definitely looks like nesting to me.

Tigran.

It looks like joining to me.  If it was nesting, you would be able to commit A
without comitting B.

Of course, if there is database literature defining nesting, and there probably
is, then I should be ignored here.
Perhaps the literature defines nesting as equivalent to what I call joining.

need customizations and industrial grade support, we sell them.
