/* Written 7:14 pm Jun 26, 1989 by gblee@maui.cs.ucla.edu in iuvax:comp.sys.ibm.pc */ /* ---------- "Concurrency Control in DbaseIII+ or" ---------- */ Please consider the following problems: We have one file server(ibm ps/2) and two workstations (ibm at and xt) connected using Novel Advanced Netware. The server machine is running dbaseIII+ or Paradox. Now, we want our 3 personell simultanously acess the database file on the server and modify it and do whatever he/she wants. I know this is the basic concurrency control problem in database field. Now the question is this kind of job could be done on Pc level. What is responsible for this Os/2 on Ps/2, Netware or DbaseIII+ (or Paradox)? Don't simply say you have to buy expensive Distributed DBMS or Minicomputer. What is the constsructive solution for this problem? Thank you for the time and response. --Geunbae Lee,m UCLA-CS-AI. /* End of text from iuvax:comp.sys.ibm.pc */ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ One might also consider a dBASE III+ compiler, such as Clipper which will compile your dBASE III+ code, contains all necessary functions, etc. to a provide true multi-user, as well as a great number of extensions for jazzing up those boring programs. It generally goes for mid $400's mail order and is royalty-free. Matt Clark (clarkm@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu)
