You could try using query locking hints in your SQL, I have to do it on some very large tables that get a lot of updates. The only problem being that sometimes you won't get data that's 100% up to date as it could be updated while the select is running.
E.g. select field1,field2 from tblOne (nolock) where field1 = #param# Other than that, have a good look at the database design, there may be too many indexes, or poorly performing indexes that are slowing inserts and updates down, tbh it could be any number of things. Although it is highly probable that the problem is the database and or some slow SQL that's causing the issues, not CF. Hope you get it sorted, Craig. -----Original Message----- From: Colin Murphy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 26 July 2002 13:44 To: CF-Talk Subject: Table Locking Problems HELP! I am having problems with table locks in one of my databases. These table locks result in the cfm pages failing becuase they either can't access the database or they get a serialization failure. I have tried using cflock to stop multiple queries accessing the same table but the problem is the site is running over more than 1 server and I can't think of anyway to prevent all of the code on all the servers from accessing the tables at the same time. It also runs on 2 SQL servers which are replicating to each other. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could solve these problems? The sites run on coldfusion 4.5.
