Exceptions in stored procedures

If I have SET LOCK MODE TO WAIT 5 and I attempt to lock a table in exclusive mode and the table is locked by another user when the lock is first attempted, will the exception be raised at the initial lock attempt or only if the lock attempt failed after the 5 seconds were up? -------------------------------------------------------- Name: Bill Weaver E-mail: Bill Weaver <billw@fscorp.com> Date: 03/24/98 Time: 11:02:09 This message was sent by Z-Mail Pro - from NetManage NetManage - delivers Standards Based IntraNet Solutions --------------------------------------------------------
