Wouldn't a named lock do what you need?     Could set the timeout in seconds to more if need be? Cheers Gareth. Dale Fraser wrote: It is very unlikely that this operation is being run by more than one person at a time, but it is possible. So i'm happy to just make them wait, it's 20-

Would a better way be to show a 'Joe Bloggs is running the payroll process, come back later' message when the second person tries to perform this task? Would having all these locks make the next person doing this task wait, or will it make everyone wait? Dale Fraser wrote: > > What happens if

2007-10-18 Thread Dale Fraser
What happens if I lock an application scoped variable. I have an application that can perform a task, which would cause trouble if two people were doing that task at the same time. So I thought I could either do it using an application lock block, but i'm not really sure if that would work.

Dale, I dont think Microsoft is under any obligation to look after my interests. But they had a terrific version of SQLServer in teh 2000 version. It had a great feature called DTS that did everything those of us using shared hosting needed. Then they "improved" it with SQL2005. Gave us a thi

if you're after a quick and dirty prototyping database with excellent visual editors, nothing beats it. not VS2005 not SQLServer enterprise tools not QuantumDB plug-in IMHO it's the bees-knees in having a fast-to-use GUI in creating data structures and importing prototyping data into it. don't

and while we're at it... I've just wasted the last hour or so with Access2007 - there's a change of behavior with importing data from text files into existing tables. something I've done a zillion times before in older versions where I could import the "body" of the data and it would assign auton

Dale, Agreed... But mySQL has that option to backup to a remote location, and is why we are moving all databases over to mySQL because of being able to backup and restore our databases and be confident that we have a backup. Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty. Ltd. www.aege

I don't agree at all. Using a hosting provider comes with sacrifices. You can't expect to be able to do everything you like. I'm not sure this is a MS problem, but rather a choice of yours. If you have really specific needs, then it's time to organise your own servers. Let the servers set you fr

This one is a bit of a pain when using the default multi-server setup. There's only one jvm.config to edit, making the debug port the same for all CF instances. There are ways to have more than one jvm.config but bah, who'd wannna do that. On 10/18/07, Andrew Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >
