ClockOn | is there a way to know if there is a transaction or table lock, rather than having to try and causing an exception?

Gregory Sebastian | Did you mean Database transaction ? If so there is one :

ClockOn | Thanks Gregory, but as far as im aware that only works for the current session, if another session has a transaction then InTransaction does not work...

Gregory Sebastian | Hi Clockon,
<<Thanks Gregory, but as far as im aware that only works for the current session, if another session has a transaction then InTransaction does not work...>> Yes I think its just for the current session/database . If your transaction/updates cannot be affected by other sessions, I think you must attempt to Lock the table or open them exclusively. <<is there a way to know if there is a transaction or table lock, rather than having to try and causing an exception?>> You could setup your own function like : function TryToLockTable(TableToLock : TDbiSamTable) : Boolean; begin try TableToLock.LockTable; result := True; except result := False; end; end; It will report to you on success or failure without raising an exception but you still need to handle the failed lock attempt either way ![]() Regards Gregory Sebastian |

ClockOn | Thanks gregory, I was wondering more so if the server tracked the status of the locks when in C/S mode really. Thanks for your help but, much appreciated...
