Research direction

Start at SQLProvider's SubmitUpdates() behavior for MSSQL and reproduce the described two-session update using a TIMESTAMP column. Done means a concurrent update causes a runtime error and leaves the database unchanged; the issue does not name specific source files or tests.

Description

I'm looking for a way to add Optimistic Concurrency Control in SQLProvider, based on TIMESTAMP columns (MSSQL). Similar to how it is done in Entity Framework.

Is there anything built-in? If not then a workaround or an extension?

Repro steps
  1. Create context, read a record from a table with TIMESTAMP column.

  2. Update some property of the record.

  3. Hit the breakpoint to make debugger stop just before ctx.SubmitUpdates(). Run the code in debugger.

  4. Concurrently update the record in MS SQL server (e.g. via SQL Management Studio) so record read in Step 1 becomes obsolete

  5. Resume debugger and execute ctx.SubmitUpdates()

Expected behavior

A runtime error saying that record was updated concurrently, no changes in database.

Actual behavior

SubmitUpdates() writes changes to database, regardless whether timestamp is obsolete or not.

Known workarounds

Don't know any out of the box. A stored procedure can be written instead which is tedious.
