Locked Record In DB without User

[JvdB]

Hi all,

Progress 8.3b and 8.3b database.

Does anybody know how long progress keeps a record in exclusive lock even though the user that did the lock is not connected to the database anymore?

Thnx already,

J.

Don't know how long, but when you've a record locked by nobody, simply stop and restart the base to cancel all active transactions.

Isn't this what Watchdog is for?

Progress Watchdog (WDOG). The watchdog process cleans up after improperly terminated processes by releasing locks, backing out any live transactions and releasing shared-memory locks, and disconnecting and cleaning up the server's remote clients.
