And if another program does this in the order of "file 2 then file 1" -
what happens? (This is historically known as "bad programming" when not
all applications access "critical" records in the same order - but it is
also known to happen)

Kinda makes me wonder why anybody would NOT use a relational database for
mission critical master data... :-)

(This thread, to me, is like discussing the relative merits of the Swiss
Army 16 nail horseshoe over the standard 8 nail model or whether size 5 city
nails are better than size 5 regular for horses on gravel roads... if you
never rode a horse in your life...)

Record locking? :-)

It's about as relevant in today's world as goose feather fletching... :-)
