Sure -- I can put it up if nobody minds a class where everything is named "Test" and has vars like "a" and "b" in it :) Basically, you're not allowed to pass judgement on me based on this project ...

This is a WOLips 2.(latest) project and depends on Project Wonder (thought the wonder dependency is tiny -- i just build all my projects with it at this point).

I haven't done any timings, but I find it hard to believe that this technique will effect any significant savings for most databases. As Art indicates, the only effect of reducing the number of lock columns is to correspondingly reduce the number of columns in the WHERE clause for updates and deletes.
I've always wondered this, too, so I threw together a quick test. I created two identical entities which have 3 ints, 3 booleans, 3 strings, and 3 dates as properties, but one locks all attrs and one locks none. I then inserted 10,000 of each into the db, followed by an update of the same attribute for each with the same change in value.

This was run on the latest version of FrontBase on an Intel iMac with WO 5.3:

Main.main: 10000 with all columns locked = 25753ms
Main.main: 10000 with no columns locked = 7111ms

So in this test, it is 3.6x faster to not lock any columns in this example, with this database, one this hardware. Obviously db benchmarks are never this simple, so take this with a grain of salt.

Interesting. Can you make the code freely available so we can all test?
