Can you implement exclusive locking across replicated databases?
This is impossible using Notes. Think about what would be required. You have a database replicated to multiple servers and clients. If a user opens a document, how would all the other unconnected databases know about this?
The only way to do this using Notes is to have a single un-replicated database. Normally, a redesign of the application is enough to work around this requirement.
Note that similiar problems occur if you try this with relational databases.
