Hi. Well, of course, the RDBMS (here MySQL) is handling table locking (not only with BDB tables). But, because this seems rather obvious to me, maybe I misunderstood your question? Bye, Benjamin. On Thu, Feb 08, 2001 at 02:54:47PM -0800, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > > One thing I

OBDC's strength is that it is almost universal in accessing files, not speed, and that may be the reason why using the jet engine will produce quicker results. I don't know if it will work on your end, but I moved from using MyOdbc to the following statement in accessing mysql database: strCon

Hi, One thing I have always wondered, how do you deal with table locking if you have a number of people using mySQL with ODBC? Does ODBC handle it? Does Access do it? Can mySQL do it with Berkeley? I am esp talking if you are using mySQL from many different locations and working on the same tab

Actually there is no reason to expect MySQL to perform better than Access for a nominally sized database and everything running on one PC. Access was designed and optimized for JET whereas ODBC is a general-purpose API. Also, the connection method impacts this significantly, as do the complexity

Hi, Question 1: --- We've got a server app that does a lot of 'small' database reads and writes. We were originally using MS Access via DAO (Jet Engine) and we wanted to tighten up DB performance, so we've written a general ODBC database wrapper object, but mainly just to connect
