A thorough refactoring is exactly what I would very much like to do :) Alas, most of the current code is pretty old, written years ago with a firm intention to run single-instance (and even without WOAllowsConcurrentRequestHandling), and before I get the time to re-write the guts and do it right, I must make the current thing at least _somewhat_ stable and useable. >> When I get the "condition 379.

Depends on the application logic how probable this is, but I believe in principle it can always happen, and I believe if it does, in this scenario -- with the "TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL read committed, LOCKING optimistic" setting in both sessions -- the latter commit consistently yields "Exception 379. Optimistic locking: multiple transaction conflict detected". It happens to me occassionally; far as I can say, the isolation level is all right. Of course, I may be wrong, as always. By the way, leads me to another question -- is there a way to send SQL and read the result string? I actually wanted to send "show transaction;" and put the result to my application log, to be sure the setting works on the production server (where I can't check through FBManager). I have found I should be able to use ERXEOAccessUtilities.evaluateSQLWithEntity(Named) to send the SQL, but I can't see how to obtain the results? Thanks a lot again, OC _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
