Hello,

I'm having difficulties using SAPDB 7.3.0.29 on Win2000.
Using a Java application (with the latest JDBC driver) I write into the database 
updating a row (I receive signs of life from another machine and store the time of 
arrival in the database)

Using the Database Manager 7.4.2.6 I watched the number of locks on the database 
(instance -> information -> locks).
The thing that confuses me is that the number of locks (both row and table locks) only 
increases. It really never decreases even if I shut down my application.
Referring to the manual this is the number of currently held locks. It is possible 
that there are more than 10.000 table locks in a database containing about 30 tables? 
(The request timeout is 30 seconds).

There is another problem which I think is related to this: (still the same application 
mentioned above)
In some special occasions the remote machine does not send a sign of life but an 
alert. In this case there a some actions needed to be taken.
This causes the application to perform a number of additional database operations 
(like storing the alert message...)
For tests I created an alert every 2 seconds (which resulted in an increased but not 
extrem load).

After about 100 alerts the available space for data started to shrink extrem fast. Of 
course the where rows inserted but the space was consumed much faster than 
anticipated. Finally the data space usage reached 50 % (starting at 13 % of 100 MB). 
At this point no more operations on the database were possible.
After restarting the database (online -> offline -> online) the data space usage was 
back about the value before my test (there was a negligible increase due to the added 
data).

The same application already completed test runs with more than 15.000 alerts when 
using MySql oder MS SQL-Server. A similar situation never occured there.


I'd be grateful for any help I could get (since I'm quite new to SAPDB).
