Re: Locking records in DB2

Ron,

You might consider an optimistic update.  Read the record for display but
don't lock it.  When the update occurs you check that the fields you are
updating on the record haven't changed since the original read (by using the
old values as well as a key in the update's selection clause).  If the
record hasn't changed the update occurs.  If there has been a change the
update will fail.  When it fails you read the record for display again with
an error message and allow the user to attempt to change the record again.
