| Notes |
Semaphores are stored in the system.compiler.semaphores table; the value of each semaphore is a date value containing the time the semaphore was created. Semaphores are not linked to ODB cells; locking a semaphore called "user.prefs.name" does not have any effect (such as preventing modification) on the ODB object user.prefs.name.
