Re: What makes a delphi Database Application Multi-User??


Hi All,
I have a delphi 7 ado access 2000 database application running on my
workstation. The database is on a server. Other users want to be able
to use it. Do I need to do something special code wise ?
You have to write your code with an awareness that it will be multi user.
If you are just using Delphi data controls you don't have to do anything
special.
But when you start writing code that changes records then you need to trap for
errors situations that would result if there is a contention editing a record.
One thing you don't want to do in a multi user application is use a Transaction
while a user has control of the application. Transactions should only be used
when your code has complete control.

What makes a delphi Database Application Multi-User??
The database you are using needs to be capable of mu lit user access.
After that it is a matter of not writing any code that would compromise that mu
lit user access.
