[ZODB-Dev] Transaction notes

[Jeff Shell]

I'd like to add something to our application framework code so that when page messages are displayed to the user (simple messages like 'saved changes' or 'deleted xxxx') that they are also added to the transaction description (using the 'note' method on transactions). Our fsdumps and fstails have very little useful information so I want to re-use an internal API that we use to help provide some information when debugging the amount of writing our application does.

My question is: Will using transaction 'note' in a non-writing transaction cause a record to be written out when using FileStorage and/or ZEO?

Thanks,
Jeff Shell
