Oplocks have no effect on database integrity. Changing oplock settings will not ensure integrity. They allow clients to improve performance if they are the only ones with a particular file open. The only time you should turn off oplocks is if your SMB client or server has a buggy implementation of them. Currently Windows and Unix (Samba) do not have bugs in their implementations. They are used by hundreds of millions of people daily. If you use Samba, make sure kernel oplocks are on (default setting). There is one corner case if you have turned on SMB signing. SMB signing is off by default except when talking to domain controllers. Even then you are very unlikely to hit it and if you did you a warning in the event viewer.
