Jimi,
InnoDB uses traditional pessimistic two-phase locking. This is complemented
by multiversioning (MVCC) that makes non-locking consistent reads possible.
Thus, InnoDB is similar to PostgreSQL and Oracle in its transaction
management.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if MySQL uses optimistic or pessimistic locking with
InnoDB tables? And can this be modified in any way?
When I use the search function on the mysql site, it only gives me
search results for MaxDB...
Regards
