Hi,
I am programming using libpq under Linux.
When I do a "select ... for update" to lock a row, how
would I allow user to cancel or timeout when requesting the
the same row from another program/transaction.
I do not want the user to have to wait for the update on the
other end. I would rather send the user an error message
saying that the record is LOCKED -- try again later.
If you could send me an example that would be great!
Thanks for your help.
Jeff.
