Yes, that advice worked perfectly. Now I understand. This is one very nice data storage system. It's fast, and it can deal with multiple pointers - separate sessions - into the same table without conflict. I guess it's up to the programmer to make certain that one connection doesn't change data the other is dependent on :)
