Hi,

As far as I can tell, there is no (optimistic) locking in CS2002SP3. We have
an e-commerce website and several order processing processes that all work
with (potentially) the same (order) data. Has anyone tried to implement
optimistic locking in CS? Or does anybody have any pointers (and why is this
not standard in CS2002!!)

We single thread (or use a dispatcher model for) some operations to prevent
issues.  You'll see similar problems if you try to do product catalog
updates.

But thats so stupid! Every website has this issue (people pressing F5 and
issuing a second request for the same job)! -Oh sorry. No, you're workaround
is not stupid ;-)

The solution I'm currently working on involves a trigger on the OrderGroup
table that increments an version_seqnr (bigint) for the order being updated
after checking that the version_seqnr thats in the database is the same as
the version_seqnr being passed in the update. It will Raise an error and
rollback the transaction if these are not the same. Also after each save on
our Order we bump the version_seqnr in memory too (saves a trip to the
database). If the trigger raised an error this code will not be called.

Any thoughts on this solution, Robert? I'm not a big fan of triggers but in
this case it keeps the solution nicely transparent (except for that one code
change in our Save method)...

Thanx,

That's what the timestamp field is designed to do ... check for differences
in versions.  But other than that, it is a solution.  If it works for you it
seems reasonable.
