- Can anyone recommend a book, white paper or article that goes into
- reasonable depth concerning Sybase's locking strategy? I understand
- that 'page level' rather than 'row level' locking is used. I don't
- understand why. Neither do I really feel as though I know when sybase
- chooses to lock something and why. If you are in isql and you issue a
- select without a begin transaction, is anything locked? Or is nothing
- locked til an update or delete statement? When are locks released?

- Thanks
