By "borrowed" I was meaning that a db_field_log which references a buffer which may only be accessed with a dbScanLock() of the associated record. Indeed struct db_field_log does not current encode this associate fully.

I think that you and I (Ben) probably have the same idea with only a sign flip in the name. Would you agree that "is_owner==!must_lock"? In your mind, does "is_owner" have a wider meaning than record locking? eg. does "is_owner" imply anything about the presence or absence of a dtor?
