Great information on MARS and the ExecuteReader. What I am trying to
do is to emulate a legacy product's data access method. The reason I
am doing this is there is just way too much code to convert into
proper sql. I'm talking at least 1 million lines of code. I have
already written a conversion program to convert the code to VB.NET and
now I must right a dll assembly to emulate the legacy data access.
Here is one an example of what I have to emulate:
get #3, key #1 GE "20060101"
while invoiceDate < "20070101"
! The current row is now locked!
! make changes
update #3 ! updates the currently locked row and now unlocked.
get #3 ! read the next row in
next
The converted code looks something like:
' note: 3 = the registered table
SQL.getGreaterEqual(3, "20060101") ' notice no upper bounds
while invoiceDate < "20070101"
' The current row is now locked!
' make changes
SQL.update(3) ' updates the currently locked row and now unlocked.
SQL.getNext(3) ! read the next row in
next
My question now is:
How do I lock one row at a time???
One thought I had was to make all connections go through my own
service. That service could keep track of locks. The problem with that
is that future products will want to use sql properly which would
bypass the locking.
