Soft Locks

Presenter: Lee Scholl, Barrick Gold

Lee Scholl, Senior Database Administrator at Barrick Gold explores a method to prevent changes to data components without locking the hole in QLOH_OBJECTSTATUS. Soft Locks were developed so information related to a specific component, such as collar coordinates, could not be changed by users once the data is signed off, while still retaining the ability to update another component such as geology logs.
