[V4RB] Serving a db over the web

[jda]

I've been working on sharing databases over the web via a 
ServerSocket in RB. It works very well, but I'm concerned about what 
happens when there are user "collisions", especially with the new 
record locks. This is not Server, but the usual embedded Valentina.

1. I have arranged it so that only databases not in use locally can 
be accessed via the internet, which prevents access during database 
writes.

2. You cannot write to the database via the internet.

3. My cursor record permissions are all set to kReadOnly. As of now, 
records in such a cursor cannot be accessed by anyone else (even 
though they are unmodifiable). This would cause problems if there was 
a collision between users trying to access the records. Will that 
change in 2.0, Ruslan? Why can't we access a kReadOnly record just to 
read it?

4. Instead of record locks, should I change every cursor to kNoLocks? 
If so, are there any downsides (remembering that the databases cannot 
be shared under any circumstances)?

5. Finally, if I use kNoLocks, do I need to set kRandomAccess (as 
opposed to kForwardOnly), or now does it default to the old way 
(which was kRandomAccess).

Thanks!
