Nice idea but DB_FCNTL_LOCKING has a different meaning. It says go use the lock that is already set from the process. And it does not mean do create a lock. What version of db4 do you have? Is it compiled by your own? are you using a dba.so? Are you testing on a standard linux fs (extfs3) or what? -- Best regards, Marcus mailto:helly@php.net
