>>Anybody got any idea why I get a 'connection myconnection is busy' if I open a view and REPLACE myfield WITH foo, but if I issue an SQL update statement into that same table, it takes it? Please let me know what the deal is, there would be a lot of code to change. Thanks a ton,

>How big is the back-end table? If it has a lot of records, and you don't have a WHERE clause defined in the remote view, it will have to bring all of those down to your client machine, do the update, and pass them back to the server. Even if you do have a WHERE clause it can still take a considerable amount of time.


The 2 backend tables this is happening on are pretty large, but the view has filters set so that is only return the necessary record. I think the 'busy' message means 'tough luck' as it never updates, I have to tablerevert it. Thanks for the reply!
