Maintaining data concurrency in an "Ajax"

Hi Anshuman,
I do not know if you are using SQL Server.
However I believe it is a database prb, which should be solved at the Data Tier layer rather than any tier above it.

My solution is adding a SQL timestamp column to the table.
Timestamp is not a datetime datatype, but a unique version identifier for a row.
Rather than the programmer take responsibility of ensuring the correct version, it is better to delegate it to the RDBMS

A Letter from the President of IxDA

Dear IxDA Members,

Thank you for your ongoing support on the IxD Discussion list in 2005
and in this quarter. You our members, have made this list one of the
best online resources for discussing issues concerning the evolving
practice of interaction design. Your interest and passion fueled our
decision in October 2005 to take the next logical step of beginning the
transformation from a simple mailing list to a full-fledged non-profit
professional organization.

Maintaining data concurrency in an "Ajax" environment

Hello,
I'm working on a thin client application which will be used by
multiple users concurrently and I'm having problems wrapping my head
around how we'll address overwriting of data that's being edited by
another user. Since this application will be using a lot of Ajax-type
interactions it will allow users to change individual attributes of
objects. In this case, the objects are financial data, so making sure
the user knows what the most up-to-date value (OR correct value --
these are two distinct options) is is of very high importance.
