Re: table locking - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the input, but I specifically can't use SELECT.. FOR UPDATE as the 
SELECT won't match any rows (it isnt supposed to, there's an explanation as 
to in a post I've just sent).  

I had thought about ACCESS EXCLUSIVE MODE; but it looks like it'll block all 
other readers as well, which isn't necessary.

Thanks
