[ZODB-Dev] Feature Request 2381 : Persistent object iterator in Storage

[JohnD.Heintz]

Is this API going to be added to BaseStorage someday? (That would handle=20
ClientStorage as well as OracleStorage)

Now that I've looked more closely it seems to satify my initial request p=
lus=20
a lot more, great!

Question: If I am using this interface to make changes to the db/storage =
as I=20
iterate, then I will need to make sure that I stop iterating when I get a=
=20
RecordsIterator with tid greater than the timestamp when I started iterat=
ing?

Thanks,
John
