Holy nuclear war
-
When a certain client library of a lesser quality database engine, whose name I shall not name here, is messing with you, it's not just pushing you around, it's waging a holy war backed with nuclear arsenal against you. :mad: :mad: :mad: When I used certain features of the library, in a multithreaded environment, it starts messing things up. Royally! I wasn't born yesterday, so I know how to protect single threaded code with mutexes/spinlocks. Eventhough the access to the library is verifiably seralized, it misbehaves in ways I never thought possible. Solution? Ugly workaround, which involves table scans. X| luckily, I will not store large amounts of data. It took me a while before I understood the problem I was facing, because debugging a shell extension running inside explorer.exe is not particularly easy. Especially not when explorer.exe actively screws with VS.NET. Inspect the wrong thread, and you'll have to kill the IDE using the task manager and start over. X| A small hack I thought, and aimed for a complete solution including install package before lunch. The time is now almost 6 in the evening. :mad: I suppose I'll do the install package on monday, because now the desire for a Häagen-Dazs and a comfy sofa is too strong for me to spend another 40 minutes on building and testing the blasted thing on my list of supported OSs. ** CARRIER LOST ** -- Keep talking! I'm the preacher, you're a fool!

mysql ?? I thought this thread was going to be about USA updating it's preemptive nuclear strike plans, altho why I'm reading this in the news is still beyond my understanding DUKENUKEM[^] Or maybe it was about yet another state-sponsored islamic terrorist regime wanting to impose their delusional death-filled wet dreams on the rest of the planet ? ISLAMICNUKES[^] oh wait wasn't it that Tancredo guy that said to nuke mecca ? NUKEMECCA[^]

Not MySQL. This is a commercial product (as in "costs money"). The reason I won't name the library is because I suspect the developers may be users here. I'd rather tell it to them rather infront of 2 million others. :) -- Look straight into the light!
