[basex-talk] Re: Manual database lock

Hi Matt,

Locking is a low-level mechanism of the database system. It should be avoided to try to influence the behavior from outside.

What would be your reason for (un)locking databases manually?

Best, Christian

Hello everyone,

Is there any function or command I can use to manually lock and unlock a database? Based on the documentation on File-System Locks https://docs.basex.org/12/Transaction_Management#file-system_locks it sounds like maybe just creating an upd.basex file in the database directory would be sufficient?

Thanks in advance, Matt
