Is there anybody out in netland using SCO XENIX-NET and database
DataFlex ? or that matter any sort of multiuser database ?
Mainly interested in how the database handles the multiuser aspect i.e.
the locking of data on one machine, which is being accessed by a user
on another machine, + what the response times are like.

A little while ago we had Canveon from Canada on -- if you look back over the database postings you might find an address for them. > Mainly interested in how the database handles the multiuser aspect i.e. > the locking of data on one machine, which is being accessed by a user > on another machine, + what the response times are like. It's one of the better performers in multiuser stuff on (say) Novell, but not without problems because of some pecularities in concurrency control. If you want general info about how Dataflex does it I can help, but not Unix. Sorry! PS Keep posting. A bit more Dataflex traffic wouldn't do any harm. ~~David. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ David M.
