Well, there isn't much difference between an OLTP user and a web-app user. Any transaction lasting less than 3 seconds is considered real-time or "inter-active". Anything that takes longer is batch. Cached transactions are a little foreign in an OLTP environment, but they're essentially still classed as batch. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
