Not the right place to ask since C++ doesn't know threading, you might
find a better explanation in the newsgroup for the os you are working
on.
That said a mandatory lock blocks access until whatever that has
received the lock releases it. An advisory lock just informs others
accessing that memory/file that someone else is working in that part
already and that they should behave.

Note that advisory locking is also called shared locking and mandatory
locking is also called exclusive locking.

(reposting. Comcast's news feed is fubar)

Advisory locks don't prevent you from accessing the data without
a lock. Mandatory locks do. Advisory locking depends on threads
or processes behaving properly and only accessing the data when
holding a lock.

In order for mandatory locks to be able to be enforcable, there
has to be a mechansim to control all access to the data. In OO
programming that would be by making the data private and only
accessable through method calls. The method implementations would
be responsible for determining whether locking was in effect and
enforcing it properly.

Hi All, I have a database that is serving a web site with reasonably high traffiic. We're getting errors at certain points where processes are being locked. In particular, one of our people has suggested that an update statement contained within a stored procedure that uses a where condition that only touches on a column that has a clustered primary index on it will still cause a table lock.

DB2 v7.2 (FP7 - DB2 v7.1.0.68) on AIX 5.2.0.0. We're seeing unexpected single row (then commit) insert locking behaviour. We're seeing Applications that already hold row-level W locks in lock-wait, waiting to acquire row-level X locks. The lock-waits are behind applications that have row-level X locks on different rows (honestly). Both executing and lock-waiting applications have been granted IX table locks.

as wat ive mentioned in the title.. im would like to know whether the a particular record/table is being locked in my program. some of the methods which i would like to develop are as below: Lock(KEY, SQLCODE) - to create a lock. Returns 0 on success, 1 if a lock already exists and -1 on failure with SQLCODE. There is no necessity to use IsLock() for checking if a lock exists or not, just insert the record and check for

Have a peculiar problem regarding lock escalation. Originally lock escalation was occurring because of an application changing most of the rows in a large table. After setting locksize to table to overcome this, still seeing periodic lock escalations (every hour or so) but only of abour 20 rows and for one application at a time. Given a 100MB lock list, why is escalation kicking in and only escalation about 2K of locks? MAXLOCKS would also...
