After I uploaded the assignment, I found a problem:
I don't program the lock mechanism for the readRecord and createRecord. I only programed for updateRecord and deleteRecord. I used the lock mechanism as lockRecord/process/unlock.
Is this error?

Actually for reading and creating, there is no need for locking I think. But you should have documented this concern in the choices and let know grader that there might be a chance of other thread updating/booking/or even deleting the record while one thread is reading.

Hi long,
In fact, readRecord does not require any lock, as it is a share lock. However, of course, you need to make sure that the record does not be updated when it is being read. Otherwise, the record will be changed. In DB world, they call this: "unrepeatable read".
For createRecord, there is no RECORD LOCK, however, you need to have a DB file lock, otherwise, multiple writes will corrupt the file. In DB world, they call this: "lost update".
Since you have uploaded the assignment, I dont think you can have a chance to reupload it, as SUN's said upload can only be performed once. If you need another upload, you need to pay US 125.
Anyway, dont worried. This is just minor stuffs, since you wont provide any APIs for the client to invoke the create method.
