Syntax: SET FASTLOCK ON/OFF
Mode: Multi-user and STATICDB
Default: OFF
Set FASTLOCK on for faster multi-user performance while modifying data, allowing the use of a quicker locking mechanism. With FASTLOCK on, R:BASE does not place a table lock on the table, allowing for greater throughput. A table lock is only needed to prevent structure changes.
FASTLOCK can only be set on when STATICDB is set on, and both FASTLOCK and STATICDB must be set on before the database is connected. Like other R:BASE database modes (SET MULTI and SET STATICDB), FASTLOCK requires all users to be connected with the same setting.
The following command lines set STATICDB and FASTLOCK correctly.
SET STATICDB ON
SET FASTLOCK ON
CONNECT concomp
