how do I open a table row in a database mssql exclusively ?

my problem is that I have a table as follows :

users : varchar(20)
plafond : money

any time a user can access this table and subtract money from record plafond .

Obviously, each subtraction operation of the money must be made exclusively before it is possible to make another

Pasquale,

That is handled by MS SQL Server during any updates.

What exactly is your concern here ?  That the money balance will go below zero ?  If so, then that is something to be enforced at the database level via MS SQL Server with a check constraint.

The problem is : If two users attempt to do simultaneously operation generates a commit error .

None of the database activity happens in the browsers.  So the EWB code only runs in the browser.  When you do the Database.Commit - the request gets sent back to the Server and the Server does the database work.

So are you using the EWB Server or PHP as the backend to do the MSSQL work?  That is where you need to do the MSSQL.StartTran - MSQL.EndTran effort that deals with the database.


And are you sure you would want EXCLUSE access?  so that the database is limited to one connection?



The EWB code is magic, it manages all the data and sends a JSON package to the server with the request to Add, Edit or Delete from the database.  So look at the server side to deal with you MSSQL needs.

The short answer is: no, you can't do what you're asking in an EWB client application.

The only way to handle this would be to write an EWB Web Server module that implements a custom request and handles this in MS SQL Server.  And describing how you would so is beyond the scope of a support forum post.

how do I catch and handle this error ?

This error I create it by doing two tasks simultaneously .

I think the problem is this : when a user makes an update while the other still not done then the second is the inconsistent database and then goes wrong commit

What you need to do is implement your own specialised locking. Add an extra column to the table (say InUse BOOLEAN) and test that before you allow anyone to start making changes. If its false then set to true and proceed, if true then give the user a message telling them to try again in a few minutes. As part of the posting money to the table reset the flag to false.

if you look at the code written in previous posts you realize that I have already done this but the situation does not change in the sense that when two operations on the table are the same according to one of the two is in error committed and locks
