The advantage should be - code compatibility between DSA and non-DSA applications - compatibility on all platforms (single and multiprocessor) - support for OLTP and DSS applications This DSA concept should reduce deadlocks and allow good multi-threading and distribution of workload. It uses the concept of virtual processors. Hope this helps, Eric Van der Hulst Siemens-nixdorf Belgium
