Description
The TABLEUPDATE() function is used to commit changes during buffered processing. If <expL1> is .T. or <expN> 1 (True) TABLEREVERT() applies to all rows under table buffering and the current row under row buffering. If <expL1> is .F. or <expN> 0 (False) TABLEREVERT() only applies to the current row. If <expN> is 2, updates are processed as if <expN> is 1, but encountering an error does not stop the update. Instead, error information is stored in the array, <arrayname>, if specified. The optional <expL2> determines whether changes made by another user are overwritten (.T.) or not (.F.).
If the optional <workarea | alias> is specified, then the function will operate in the required location.

close databases clear set exclusive off open database southwind use customers // Set to known value before start replace customerid with "ALFKI" cursorsetprop("Buffering", 5, "customers") messagebox("Buffering set to " +etos(cursorgetprop("Buffering"))) ? "Original customerid value: " + customerid ? "Curval(): " + curval("customerid") ? "Oldval(): " + oldval("customerid") ? "Fieldstate at start: " + getfldstate("customerid") replace customerid WITH "RECIT" // Alter in another session ! recital -c "update southwind\!customers set customerid = 'MULTI' where recno() = 1" ? "Someone else just updated the record!" ? "New customerid value: " + customerid ? "Curval(): " + curval("customerid") ? "Oldval(): " + oldval("customerid") ? "Fieldstate after replace: " + getfldstate("customerid") tablerevert(.T.) ? "Reverted customerid value: " + customerid ? "Curval(): " + curval("customerid") ? "Oldval(): " + oldval("customerid") ?
