- 1"Another concern I have is 2 people getting a lock for the same item, however I believe that is a race condition I am comfortable with" - using a database transaction around the acquisition of the lock should prevent such race conditions.Jules– Jules2018-01-09 07:36:14 +00:00Commented Jan 9, 2018 at 7:36
- Most database engines (of the relational sort, at least) have built in support for this. It's a very common concept in the RDBMS world, and even "toy" databases handle it well enough, given that you tell it you want optimistic or pessimistic locking. Anyway, I don't think it's something you need to build yourself by any means: check the options on your db engine to see how to work with it.jleach– jleach2018-01-09 19:11:02 +00:00Commented Jan 9, 2018 at 19:11
- The fact that your application is a desktop application (a fat client) doesn't make much difference. It can be designed in the same way as a highly-available, multi-instance server application.Hosam Aly– Hosam Aly2018-01-16 07:06:50 +00:00Commented Jan 16, 2018 at 7:06

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
