*sigh*

You are so busy trolling me that you haven't bothered
to look at what is implemented in RPM.

For starters:

1) rpm-5.3.x+ embeds sqlite3 so that databases imports/exports
are integrated with package management. There is no reason why
postgresql cannot be implemented the same way, just that sqlite3
is a simpler API if/when attempting an embedding.

2) TPPM *uses* Berkeley DB ACID logs to extend to
file system and scriptlet operations.

Uts incoherent/inconsistent (and ignorant) to challeng
me to upgrade a postgresql master server with packaging
at the dame time you are claiming that a perl 1-liner
is an adequate replacement for --rollback.

Good: You are still an ignorant troll.
