Can Access Cause Share Locks in SQL Server if Account is Read Only

1 New Member
Is there a problem with linked tables in Access causing share locks in SQL server if my SQL Server account has read only permissions?

The IT group I work with has a negative view of Access. I use Access to query Oracle and SQL Server data sources for most of my ad hoc data needs.

I hear quite often to "be careful" when using Access to read sql server data becasue it can cause share locks in sql server.
My response has always been, then configure SQL Server better so that I can't lock the records and if it can't be done, let's get a real database that can handle it. To which of course, I usually get a grunt and nothing more.

We are using Access2003 against SQL Server

I haven't heard of any problems with this and have worked on a number of these systems although mostly with Access 2000.

Um yeah....In case you haven't figured it out, Microsoft sucks.

I'm using Access 2002, as front-end and back-end as well: 1) I faced database corrupted problems, when more than 1 user edit concurrently. I'm using All-records Locking, and open-exclusively as default. But, still face the same problem: Database corrupted! (But, it allows to be repaired) 2) I found that the relationship linkage between those related tables(which corrupted) was disconnected/lost after problem (1)

I need to convert a 17mb access 2000 db to Oracle and house it in a Citrix farm. The issue: we have never converted an Access Db to Oracle but can probably use Oracle's Workbench to assist with this. Also - the citrix folks do not want us to keep the FE in Access as the queries and other activities consume a lot of power. The users will be in 3 different offices across the globe all accessing the 1 Oracle DB in Citrix. Does anyone have...

Here is the situation: I wrote a VB programm, which stores all the information in a single Access database file using jet engine.

Hi all, While working on an Access UI to a MySQL database (which should be a reasonable, low-cost, flexible interface to the DB, better than web-based, much less costly than a full-fledged .NET app or so.... is it?), I tried measuring the bandwith consumed by the Access/MyODBC/MySQL link, which came out to be, er, quite high. I fancied it would be interesting to look at the queries Access throws at MySQL through the ODBC link, so I...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
