Subject: locks and "select for update"
Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2012 13:05:54 -0400
Message-ID: <20120831170554.GA32084@slacker.ja10629.home> (raw)
The documentation about concurrency states that all the different types
of locks are table locks even if the word row appears in the lock name.
The documentation about select statements states that when "for update
of" is used that only the selected rows will be locked. Is this true or
does this really mean that when any target row is found the entire table
is locked until the end of the transaction?
Thanks,
Wayne
