...i''m a rails newbie....and before i get into rails whole hog.... is rails capable of sensing that a main record is locked out by some one else and can it also sense a ''race'' condition or ''multi-record interlocking condition'' i will be using oracle not mysql...can rails prevent these...???? so if a user is updating main record with id=5 and another user tries to request id=5 at the same time will rails be ''smart'' enough to message this new user that record id=5 is busy? or if two users inadvertantly try to change a related reference record even though they have different ''main record'' id# one will be ''notified'' of this ''race'' condition? ....tia dave -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
