摘要：A few methods are proposed to build a light-weighted transaction processing system, which is based on the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP). The main idea underlying these methods is to use an email service as ubiquitous lightweight data storage and provide means to assure transaction processing in a new application environment. Two kinds of operation schemes based on advisory shared-exclusive locks and optimistic concurrency control are implemented respectively. Performance tests are also offered to help understanding the pros-and-cons of these two schemes in different application conditions. The light-weighted transaction processing system will be used as an on-line storage system for many on-line light-weighted applications which do not require a full-feature database system.
