Was RE: Journaling - Now how to find who read

["Mark Allen" <markallen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since this has come up here and I have been trying to find a "simple" way
(i.e. like journaling, no program changes) to find out who has "read" a file
and since Simon brought it up in his reply, does anyone have an idea of how
to in essence "journal" read op's???

While I agree with most of what you wrote, this statement is silly.  READs
are never
journalled, what would be the point!  I know some sites want to know who
read a record
but journalling isn't the way to accomplish that.  Journalling has no effect
on reads.
Even reads though an update ODP.

Simon Coulter.
