Subject: Re: [Koha] Koha Concurrent and Simultaneous Use of Records
Hi, David!
In our latest exchange, on 9 July 2021 at 9:42 [JST], I received from you:
Koha uses the "The ever popular do-nothing-approach".
In theory, this is problematic and certainly bothers me, but in practice I
think it's fairly rare that two staff members are working on the same record at
the same time. Locking and lock timeouts come with a lot of complexity, and I
think the majority of libraries would actually prefer risk accidental
overwrites rather than lock contention and session timeouts.
I would love to see a locking feature added, but I don't know if it's anyone's
priority at the moment.
It's disappointing that there doesn't seem to be a locking feature in Koha.
At least in practice, simultaneous use of records is rare or less frequent in
my library. But there was an incident last week when a locking feature would
have been useful, it occurred to me in retrospect. I too thought of locking
timeouts. After all, I wouldn't want a record to be locked after hours and
hours of disuse.
I guess I'll be filing another feature request if such a request is not
already on file.
Thanks for the response.
