krempch Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 What type of record locking does FM use - optimistic or pessimistic? Please point me at sources of wisdom on record locking.... had a lockup today - ended up restarting the hardware to clear it ... if there's semaphores or other pointers I can look at, I really would like to know how to find them. Thanks in advance.
mr_vodka Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 FileMaker itself uses Pessimistic locking. However, when writing to the other databases with the new ESS feature it uses optimistic locking.
