-   When scanning a table or an index potentially 
-   a lot of records will be returned.
-
-   But Ndb will only lock a batch of rows per fragment at a time.
+   Performing scans on either a tables or an index has the potential 
+   return a great many records; however, Ndb will lock only a predetermined 
+   number of rows per fragment at a time.
    How many rows will be locked per fragment is controlled by the 
-   batch parameter to NdbScanOperation::readTuples().
+   <var>batch</var> parameter passed to NdbScanOperation::readTuples().
 
-   To let the application handle how locks are released 
-   NdbScanOperation::nextResult() have a parameter fetch_allow.
-   If NdbScanOperation::nextResult() is called with fetch_allow = false, no
-   locks may be released as result of the function call. Otherwise the locks
-   for the current batch may be released.
+   In order to allow the application to handle how locks are released, 
+   NdbScanOperation::nextResult() has a Boolean parameter <var>fetch_allow</var>.
+   If NdbScanOperation::nextResult() is called with <var>fetch_allow</var> equal to 
+   <b>false</b>, then no locks may be released as result of the function call. 
+   Otherwise the locks for the current batch may be released.

-   Errors can occur when
-   -# operations are being defined, or when the
-   -# transaction is being executed.
+   Errors can occur either when operations making up a transaction are being 
+   defined, or when the transaction is actually being executed. Catching and 
+   handling either sort of error requires testing the value returned by 
+   NdbTransaction::execute(), and then, if an error is indicated (that is, 
+   if this value is equal to -1), using the following two methods in order to 
+   identify the error's type and location:
 
-   One recommended way to handle a transaction failure 
-   (i.e. an error is reported) is to:
-   -# Rollback transaction (NdbTransaction::execute() with a special parameter)
-   -# Close transaction
-   -# Restart transaction (if the error was temporary)
-
-   @note Transactions are not automatically closed when an error occur. Call
-   Ndb::closeTransaction() to close.
-
-   Several errors can occur when a transaction holds multiple 
-   operations which are simultaneously executed.
-   In this case the application has to go through the operation
-   objects and query for their NdbError objects to find out what really
-   happened.
-
-   NdbTransaction::getNdbErrorOperation() returns a reference to the 
-   operation causing the latest error.
-   NdbTransaction::getNdbErrorLine() delivers the method number of the 
-   erroneous method in the operation.
+   - NdbTransaction::getNdbErrorOperation() returns a reference to the 
+     operation causing the most recent error.
+   - NdbTransaction::getNdbErrorLine() yields the method number of the 
+     erroneous method in the operation.
+   
+   This short example illustrates how to detect an error and to use these 
+   two methods to identify it:

-   Here errorLine will be 3 as the error occurred in the third method 
-   on the operation object.
-   Getting errorLine == 0 means that the error occurred when executing the 
-   operations.
-   Here errorOperation will be a pointer to the theOperation object.
-   NdbTransaction::getNdbError() will return the NdbError object 
-   including holding information about the error.

+   object providing information about the error.
 
-   Since errors could have occurred even when a commit was reported,
-   there is also a special method, NdbTransaction::commitStatus(),
-   to check the commit status of the transaction.
+   @note Transactions are <b>not</b> automatically closed when an error occurs. Call
+   Ndb::closeTransaction() to close the transaction.

+
+   It is also important to note that errors can occur even when a commit is 
+   reported as successful. In order to handle such situations, the NDB API 
+   provides an additional NdbTransaction::commitStatus() method to check the 
+   transactions's commit status.
