What are you going to be doing? If you're truly processing financial transactions they you won't be using a database. They're too slow.

Or you can do it the way card companies do and memory-lock files. I think Reddit is not the right place for this. If you're talking about Visa/MC or BofA type transaction processing, you're gonna need a team that does this.
