Problem with lock?

I run the following SQL before updating one table:

"lock table tablename"

but when I try do update the same table later on, the lock table command
just hangs (i.e the table is already locked).
It was my understanding that this lock was removed when I call commit or
do I have to explicitly unlock the table somehow?
Regards,

It looks like it was a one time happening... I restarted the database
and then tried again and then it all worked like a charm.... Hmmm....

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddres sHere" to ma*******@postg resql.org)

Show us what commands you are running, in what sequence, how many
sessions, etc.

Hi all, Hoping someone can help us with this strange Innodb problem. At about 5:15 AM 2/2/04 (this morning), our slave server stopped accepting connections. The machine was pingable, but you could not SSH into the machine. We had to manually reboot the machine, and restart the slave. Looking in the error file we found this:

SQL2K, sp3 Active Server Pages front-end I am having a blocking problem with a spid executing a stored procedure that does no updates. When I look at the locks the blocking spid has, some of them have lock mode "IS". Looking in BOL, I see "S" is shared, but I don't see "IS". Can anyone tell me what lock mode "IS" is? And how could a stored procedure that does no updates be guilty of

Hello all, we are running a delphi application with DB2 V8.01 which is causing deadlocks when rows are being inserted into a table. Attaching the Event Monitor Log (DEADLOCKS WITH DETAILS) here. From the log it looks like the problem happens when 2 threads insert 1 record each in the same table and then try to aquire a NS (Next Key Share) lock on the record inserterd by the other thread. Thanks Rohit

Folks, We have an SQL statement that was coded in an application many years ago (starting with DB V2 I think). When I upgraded to UDB 8.2, the optimizer does not use optimal path to access the data. It takes about 4 minutes to get the data. In previous versions it was instantaneous. What do I need to do to increase the performance?

Hi all. I have an ArrayList and sometimes while enumerating through, i get an exception because another thread has added to the ArrayList. To solve this problem, i lock the enumeration, passing the ArrayList instance to the lock. But i still get the same exception. Thanks for your help. Sharon.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
