- Would you consider moving into the 90's with a non-locking database?
- Perhaps you've heard of chronological databases, such as (old and hairy)
- LOGIX and of late, InterBase. My company does custom distributed
- wide-area networks, with frequent interruptions, and non-locking
- schemes beat locking ones, for performance and reliability. The
- amount of previous versions kept, even in high-volatility tables,
- is rarely a significant amount of space.
