Hello,

Please we are facing the error DBISAM Engine Error # 10229 when our application is trying to acces a DBISAM Database.

What might be causing this? The error comes out from time to time.

This is urgent please.

Hiba


From the manual

DBISAM_TRANSLOCK (10229) Transaction cannot lock the database '<DatabaseName>'
This error occurs when an attempt is made to start a
transaction and the transaction cannot place a special
transaction lock on the database. Usually this indicates a
hardware failure or a failure due to an excessively large
amount of transaction or write activity on the database that is
preventing the transaction lock from being acquired. Please
see the Locking and Concurrency topic for more information.

so I would guess that something else has your database already locked or there's a problem with hardware.

When does the error occur ?  During an insert, update, or delete, are you
using explicit transactions in your application, etc. ?
