Hello,

If your using Windows then my help file that contains EDS Database
documents/help is here:
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/refman23.zip

from the EDS docs.

tries = 0
while 1 do
    err = db_open("mydata", DB_LOCK_SHARED) 
    if err = DB_OK then
        exit
    elsif err = DB_LOCK_FAIL then
     tries += 1
     if tries > 10 then
            puts(2, "too many tries, giving up\n")
            abort(1)
     else    
         sleep(5)
     end if
    else
     puts(2, "Couldn't open the database!\n")
     abort(1)
    end if
end while
