ThreadSafe database parameter
Description
Specifies whether your connection should take advantage of
the database server threadsafe client libraries.
By default, ThreadSafe is set to No to specify that your connection
does not use the threadsafe client libraries. If you set ThreadSafe
to Yes, your connection takes advantage of the threadsafe client
libraries.
When to specify ThreadSafe
You must specify a value for ThreadSafe before connecting
to the database.

Usage
When to use
Oracle and Informix provide support for thread safety in their client
libraries. When you are using the Oracle or Informix database interface to
build multi-threaded applications in PowerBuilder, set the ThreadSafe parameter
to Yes to use threadsafe client libraries. This prevents possible
side effects among multiple threads of execution making calls to
the database server. Your application might incur a performance
penalty when you use the threadsafe client libraries.
By default, the client software (and, thus, PowerBuilder) assumes
that you are building an application in a single-threaded environment
that does not need the threadsafe client libraries. This default
ensures that single-threaded applications do not incur the performance
penalty associated with using threadsafe libraries. Therefore, if
you are building single-threaded applications, you can leave the
ThreadSafe parameter set to No (the default).
This parameter cannot be set dynamically. The value set when
the connection is made remains in effect until it is disconnected.
Examples
To specify that your connection uses the threadsafe
client libraries:
-
Database profile
Select the Thread Safe check box on the Connection page in
the Database Profile Setup dialog box. -
Application
Type the following in code:
1SQLCA.DbParameter="ThreadSafe='Yes'"
