I'm on an interesting thread right on in a discussion group in SQL Server worldwide user's group.
They insist that you need to maintain rowlocks when you read database records for applications such as ticketmaster where you would lock a record so no one else can take it. I understand the need for transaction locking and the like for inserts and updates, but I don't understand why they insist that you need to maintain record level locking. And I haven't the faintest idea how you would release these row locks in a stateless environment like the web. Has anyone here used rowlocks on selects successfully? It seems like what they are saying is impossible. Costas Piliotis Programmer Voyus Canada Inc.
