I'm experimenting with the UI and issues of record locking. We are using libpq-fe and C for the X-Windows front end. I need some suggestions on how to get input back to the user when their update is waiting on the release of a transaction where another user is updating the same record. I thought that the C routines for Asynchronous queries would work. I have finally gotten the asynchronous routines working such that at least the UI is being updated during the wait, but still the user doesn't know what is going on. Can someone point me in a sane direction regarding this issue? ;-) Thanks... -- Sparta, NC 28675 USA 336.372.6812 http://www.esc1.com
