Thanks Bill but not sure I understand the difference and when to use each.
Let's say I am building the server side of a client/server. Its prime
purpose is to run SQL statements and return the results. However sometimes
the clients will be sending data updates so some table/record locking will
then be necessary. In this example would I need multi-threading or
orchestrated multi-tasking?
Cheers,
Nick
