Re: RPG on a Windows PC (Invite)

{Jumping in with both feet but not really sure if its a good idea}

Here are a couple of ideas:

1) Have an "application server" act as the primary interface to the
database: a central server performing all the db access for the whole. In a
static class member, have it retain which tables and records are currently
"open but locked". Have it allow only ReadOnly access to those records
while still locked. This is still "disconnected", but with a flavor of a
connected environment.

2) Just a thought: could this be done with a before-read trigger? If the
requested record is "checked out" already, disallow the read? I think this
would not be as simplistic as I've made it sound, but is it possible?
