Hello Mark
My transactions are always extremely short running because I work hard to keep them that way. But I have a lot of clients with a great variety of environments, someones still using Windows XP, someones using Windows 10, with dedicated servers, with not dedicated servers, with employees that understand database administrative tasks, with employees who think I am talking swahili and so on.
Therefore I need to avoid in advance any kind of possible problems or troubles. No always I can trust in the knowledge of other people who maybe are at hundreds of kilometers and using TeamViewer or similar is not the best option because it is still a waste of time.
I don't like receive calls of clients complaining about something. Happy clients means more money, today or later.
So, all my applications should be good in all senses.
Greetings.
Walter.

Why go through extremes to avoid garbage? It is not as if the garbage
stays there indefinitely; garbage is cleaned up eventually, and assuming
you don't use extremely long running transactions, that happens pretty
quick.
