------------ PROBLEMS with the OLD TURBO (2.1) Help, I have a big problem on one system with turbo (2.1, not the newer 4.1). After some operation, the system hangs with the following information: < DUMP OF TURBO STATUS REMOVED > Please help me if you can......... It appears that your problem is that you have run out of LOCKS! When you Initialized Turbo for the First time, one of your shared memory parameters was to allocate the total number of locks that the Turbo Engine can use on the system. Solution - 1) If you have a very long transaction, that changes the data in many records, then it is better to lock the tables in Exclusive mode. ( Unfortunately Share mode locking with the old version of Turbo will not eliminate the problem). 2) You could re-initialize shared memory, and add more locks. Unfortunately, as your database grows, you will probably exceed this limit again in the future. ---------
