AFAIK Access has PAGE locking, not record locking. I don't know if it still applies but MS used to state that Access is NOT a multiuser database and therefore record locking is not supported. Obviously the page is bigger than 1 record and your multithreaded app is screwing it up.
I used earlier versions with multiple users connected to the same data database with no real locking problems, but that is very different to a threaded application (which was not available on the desktop in those days).

Thanks for the reply. FWIW, the earliest versions of Access only supported page locking, but the Access 2003 format, at least in theory, is supposed to support record-level locking. If you happen to have such a version of an Access MDB, under its Tools/Options/Advanced tab you can see that there is an option to open databases using record-level locking. And, in the connection string I am using the parameter "Jet OLEDB:Database Locking Mode=1" is supposed to be for record level locking (Mode=0 would be page locking).
I agree that the multi-threading seems to be using page locking, so I am curious if anyone has had any success with Access MDBs under a similar, but certainly not recommended, scenario. Unfortunately using SQL Express is not currently an option on this project; users may have to suffer with slower non-threaded performance if I can't figure something out.

I presume you have jumped MS directly with the problem and got no respose?
It's been has 15 yrs since I worked with Access.

We don't have direct MS support; and their knowledge base (and other groups) has not yet shed any light on what I am seeing. However, I continue to hold out hope that I am missing something painfully obvious that will soon become clear. OTOH, I may just have to travel down another road.

Assuming the two update threads belong to a single process, I would delegate all DB modifications to one specialized thread, and probably give it an input queue. Or choose another database (SQL Server Express).
The alternative, assuming DB load is low, is providing retry loops for every modification, with an appropriate sleep value of course.

Thanks for the reply. Delegating all DB modifications to one thread with an input queue is an interesting thought. I'll probably give that a try if I can not figure out why this version of an Access MDB, which is supposed to support record-level locking, does not seem to at least in this multi-threaded app. Unfortunately SQL Server Express is not an option, and a retry loop could get real ugly in this app.

Hi,
How can I run (or call) more than one store procedure at the same time?
For example I have a 3 store procedure;
First is sp_GetResult
Second is sp_Allotment
Third is sp_Price
How can I run sp_Allotment and sp_Price stored procedures at the same time (like thread) in sp_GetResult stored procedure.
Note: I use MS SQL Server 2005
Best Regards...

Don't think you can. Sql Server determines its concurrency automatically and steps through stored procs iteratively.

The management studio lets you view and modify triggers easily.
If you want to scripts, use exec sp_helptext "Your_Trigger_Name" -- actually, any database object to view the trigger. And use Alter to modify the trigger.

Hi all,
Someone once posted here an excellent self join code on aggregates but just couldn't find it. The problem is similar as follows:
PriKey Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4
1 54 Ninna 42 1
2 2 Sybil 53 2
3 6 Michelle 44 3
4 12 Abigail 47 4
5 67 Geneana 55 5
6 23 Abigail 40 4
7 21 Evelyn 41 6
8 6 Sybil 57 2
9 85 Ninna 57 1
10 3 Sybil 49 2
11 78 Evelyn 50 6
12 4 Michelle 51 3
I want to group by on Field4 and for each, I want the maximum in Field1 such that the output is as follows:
PriKey Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4
8 6 Sybil 57 2
3 6 Michelle 44 3
9 85 Ninna 57 1
6 23 Abigail 40 4
11 78 Evelyn 50 6
5 67 Geneana 55 5 I believe the solution involves a self join and the max aggregate function. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Assuming the table is called "kh" and you want it ORDER BY Field1 you could try this. The syntax works with T-SQL (Sybase). You may need to amend it for your DB if different.
SELECT t1.PriKey,t1.Field1, t1.Field2,t1.Field3,t1.Field4
FROM kh t1 INNER JOIN (SELECT MAX(Field1) AS Field1,Field4 FROM kh GROUP BY Field4) t2 ON (t1.Field4 = t2.Field4)
WHERE t1.Field1 = t2.Field1
ORDER BY t1.Field1
I hope it helps.
Cheers,
Kevin
