The main app I'm working with now is typically used by 5-10 users at a time. Updates send only changes. Optimistic locking, so last one wins.

If this was a larger scale multiuser, we would have instituted semaphore locking during updates.

This app is Java based. But I recall someone saying they use these principles using dotnet.

>Perry I know you've provided some details in the past but can you please remind me of how you are currently updating data? Are you using SPs? If so, are you sending every field back every time to be updated? I seem to recall you have experience in several tools... do they all handle data differently or are you encountering consistent data principles that cross language boundaries?
