web2all/lock

Web2All advisory lock with database

Web2All lock

This web2all/lock package requires the web2all/framework (https://github.com/web2all/framework). It used to be proprietary software but now it has been released to the public domain under a MIT license., _(*1)

This pacckage is no longer actively maintained. Most likely it is only of interest if you own software created by Web2All B.V. which was built using these classes., _(*2)

What does it do

Implement simple advisory locking. Currently only implements this using a mysql database which must be shared between the applications which want to use the advisory locking. Internally it uses the mysql functions GET_LOCK and RELEASE_LOCK. This makes it very easy to implement advisory locking between programs using the same database server. Prevent your processes from running in parallel., _(*3)
