Subject: SELECT FOR UPDATE locks whole table
Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2002 14:03:02 -0500
Message-ID: <20021206190303.98BD31BA6@druid.net> (raw)
We have the following query:
SELECT certificate_id
INTO TEMP TABLE x_certs
FROM certificate
WHERE cert_status = 0 AND
certificate_id BETWEEN 1111 AND 2222 AND
client_id IN (1, 2, 3)
ORDER BY certificate_id
FOR UPDATE;
Is there any reason that this query should lock the entire certificate table?
Is there something strange because of the IN clause or because it is going
into a temporary table? This is a production server running 7.2.2 so perhaps
it is fixed in 7.3.
