Hi Derek, Long time no see, good to hear from you even if it is by way of lobbing a bomb onto the list. A gnucash 'transaction' consists of multiple 'splits' whose 'value' must always exactly sum to zero. Each split is a separate row in the split table. The locks prevent one user from modifying a split while another is deleting it. (for example). The locks are held for extremely short periods of time, and should introduce almost no contention at all. --linas -- pub 1024D/01045933 2001-02-01 Linas Vepstas (Labas!) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key fingerprint = 8305 2521 6000 0B5E 8984 3F54 64A9 9A82 0104 5933 _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
