tacedb/xace

[janety]

Hi

this is a simple problem - I am mostly using xace (alpha, ace 4.7l) but
I have a couple of aceperl scripts which query my database via tacedb.
these scripts only query the database (->fetch) and do not try to write
to it. the problem is that after I have run the script, I try to update
the database (e.g. read and ace file, which is actually the output of my
aceperl script) but I get this error:
'Sorry, while you were reading the database, another process updated
it.//  You can go on reading, but to write, you must quit and rerun'

how did this happen? I am pretty sure I didn't update the database any
other way. Is there a way in aceperl of connecting to the database in a
read only way to make sure I don't do something by accident?

thanks for any ideas

Janet
