Local locking and prototyping

Under certain circumstances we only need local write access. These circumstances include prototyping or evaluation of object behavior. We can right-click any object definition and select Lock Object from the context menu to set the Locked flag only in the database that we are currently connected to.

Alternatively we can use the Alt+L keyboard shortcut to lock the entire project that the currently selected object definition belongs to.

Objects that are locked in only one database cannot be checked in. If we wish to keep the changes we must create an archive file of the object. The next section discusses how to create archive files.
