Please consider the following problems:
We have one file server(ibm ps/2) and two workstations (ibm at and xt) 
connected using Novel Advanced Netware. The server machine
is running dbaseIII+ or Paradox. Now, we want our 3 personell 
simultanously acess the database file on the server and modify it and
do whatever he/she wants. I know this is the basic concurrency
control problem in database field. Now the question is
this kind of job could be done on Pc level. What is responsible for
this Os/2 on Ps/2, Netware or DbaseIII+ (or Paradox)? Don't
simply say you have to buy expensive Distributed DBMS or Minicomputer.
What is the constsructive solution for this problem? Thank you
for the time and response.
