Talk on database locking and relational – oo bridge

I did a talk on various strategies of how to bridge relational databases and object-oriented programming. In retrospect I should have submitted this as a “double feature” talk, so that I could cover more ground on the actual using of the existing packages in the PHP space.

The other talk was on database locking. I think the biggest eye opener for people in that talk was about how MVCC, found in Firebird, Oracle, InnoDB and PostreSQL, really works and how to control the behavior as needed.
