[Firebird-docs] LockRequireSpins ??????

[Helen B. <he...@tp...>]

Hello Dmitry,

Originally I posted this in devel and got no answer.  It needs urgent 
attention, I think.


Would someone please confirm or deny that the parameter lock_acquire_spins 
has changed its name to LockREQUIRESpins????

According to firebird.conf, it has...if so, why?

And more on the same entry in firebird.conf:

# In Classic, only one client process may access the lock table at any
# time. Access to the lock table is governed by a mutex. The mutex can
# be requested conditionally -a wait is a failure and the request must
# be retried - or unconditionally - the request will wait until it is
# satisfied. This parameter establishes the ------> number of attempts 
<--------that
# will be made conditionally. Relevant only on SMP machines.
#
# Type: boolean 
<-----------------------------------------------------------------
#
#LockRequireSpins = 0

"This does not compute"


thks,
Helen
