TableTalk

Table buffering, dirty/stale state, commit/rollback, and buffered table mutation workflows.

Overview

TableTalk is the product/lane name for table buffering in DotTalk++.

Its subject is not general table manipulation or table browsing. Its subject is the buffered editing state around open DBF areas: ON/OFF buffering, DIRTY versus clean state, STALE versus fresh fields, buffered row changes, and the COMMIT/ROLLBACK lifecycle.

Relevant runtime areas include:

  • SET TABLE BUFFER ON|OFF [ALL].
  • TABLE and TABLE BUFFER STATUS reporting.
  • TABLE BUFFER DUMP for buffered change inspection.
  • REPLACE and CALCWRITE when buffering is ON.
  • COMMIT and ROLLBACK.
  • dirty/stale field evidence such as DIRTY | STALE [DOB].
