It's hard to deal with people that are at least 7 times more intelligent
than yourself. *sigh* (Discussing things in Portuguese and getting it into
English quick for an email makes my thoughtline broken.  :-)

Thanks. For now, it's a decent fix. I now thought that since I'm only
modifying one type of object, I could also use the _p_changed attribute to
see if it's dirty.

I'm at the point where having separate transaction scopes would start to
be really nice. Is there a project to implement parallel transactions,
where you could have one transaction running for one set of changes, and
another for another set of changes?

I think (know?) this can be done with threads, but my app is really
single-threaded right now, and I don't want to have to think about that
right now.

Take care,
