>Yes, simple is good. Speaking of internal to itself, one advantage of a rlocks table is this. Let's suppose you want to know what locks currently exist on *all* tables. You only have to query one file to get this information.

Now thats a hell of a good point, that will be needed for a reindex routine

no apologies necessary, I just like to make it clear that my opinion is just my opinion, I have a bad wording habit of making my comments sound like my way is the only way


I love kickin ideas around it keeps the mind fresh and helps people see things from a new angle.

now if this locking with name (and maybe the time from the server) thing can be coded in a generic fashion, so it can just be dropped into a program with very little or no changes I would love to see the code.
