Re: Database schema



I agree with the idea of locking. However, what problem exactly you're trying to solve with timeout? So far I see more complications due to using timeout then any practical use of it.

2007/1/20, Ilya A. Volynets-Evenbakh <ilya@total-knowledge.com>:
We can do it in many different ways.
Easiest is, of course, a hard-coded value.
Next one is a value configurable by admin.
Another option is to make it per-user or even per-object preference,
with defaults configurable by admin.

Important thing is not to require user to set this timeout every
time he edits an object.
