1. A system for processing a transaction, comprising: a processor configured to: check a condition using data in a first database as part of processing a first prepare, wherein the data is associated with a transaction, wherein the data in the first database is latched before checking the condition and is unlatched after checking the condition; indicate to a second database to check the same condition using data in the second database as part of a second prepare, wherein the data is associated with the transaction, wherein the data in the second database is latched before checking the condition and is unlatched after checking the condition; determine whether the condition check in the first database and the second database has passed; in the event both condition checks have passed, implement a commit state associated with the transaction in the first database, wherein the data in the first database is latched before implementing the commit state in the first database and is unlatched after the implementing of the commit state in the first database; indicate to the second database that the commit state is to be implemented in the second database, wherein the data in the second database is latched before implementing the commit state in the second database and is unlatched after the implementing of the commit state in the second database; and a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
