RE: Why should I use Tomcat vs .NET?

2003-10-15 Thread Johan Kok
Chris,

Your $450 statement is not quite correct, rather $450 per desk Huge
difference even for a company.

What is true however, is the learning curve and most importantly the use of
"low grade staff" as you put it. That has always been MS's key to success
and that is what is needed for open systems to gain popularity among the
general populus.

Johan Kok

RE: Design advice needed.

2003-11-02 Thread Johan Kok
Anthony,

Did you consider reading the record without locks, and when an updated are
made, to take a write-lock, check that the original record are still the
same and then apply, otherwise fail.

Your intentions might not work unless all writes are passed through the
container, as Oracle will not have any control, until a write occurs, i.e.
you will have to open with read only, and only take out a lock when you are
going to write, as described above. for safety sake your container will have
to re-read the data in any case, before commiting, otherwise it may update
changed data, e.g. updates that are made through other processes or even
triggers.

If my memory serves me right, that is something you can do easily with
Oracle (i.e. there's a standard feature implemented), even with Oracle 6/7.
