Hi!
I have a question, which I'm certain may be a bug, but I thought I'd
check with the community first before submitting it as one.
I have the following SQL pseudo code which obtains an exclusive row lock
before deleting the row:
SELECT * FROM sometable WHERE (id = :id) FOR UPDATE;
DELETE FROM sometable WHERE (id = :id);
The user account has SELECT and DELETE permissions on the table.
However, the SELECT FOR UPDATE will succeed only if the user account has
UPDATE permissions.
Is this a bug, or is there another way of obtaining an exclusive lock on
rows for delete without escalating permissions?
