Hi Adam:

One of my ISVs have been looking for the atomic operation for global variables as well. While we wait for this feature, do you have any ideas for a reasonably good work around, now?

Thanks

Angelo

Yes, aggregations are scalable and thread-safe. One thing we've considered adding is some sort of explicit atomic operation for global variables, but
in the vast majority of cases, aggregations are the right answer.
