Hi All.

I'm using for the first time the postgres lock utilities, but brobably I'm doing something of not legal.

My action are:

void *Execute(void *pParam)
{
....................................... .
........................................

        string tableLock = "BEGIN WORK;"; 
        tableLock.append(" LOCK TABLE "); 
        tableLock.append(actorTable); 
        tableLock.append(" IN ACCESS EXCLUSIVE MODE;"); 
     &nbs p;  res = PQexec(connection, tableLock.c_str());

........................................
........................................

pObj->ReturnNotification(static_cast<string>(notify->relname),connection) ;

.........................................
.........................................

CleanUpBeforeStop(void *pParam);
}

void CleanUpBeforeStop(void *pParam)
{
.........................................
.........................................

res = PQexec(pPti->conn, "COMMIT WORK;");
}

Well, the function Execute is the detached procedure of a thread. In here I execute the LOCK command on the table "actorTable". Then, in the method ReturnNotification I read the locked table. At last, calling the function CleanUpBeforeStop, I execute the COMMIT command.

Well, all this doesn't work (the connection is the always the same in all methods and functions). Have I to L ock the table, perform some operation on this table, and unlock the table all in the same function scope? 

Any Idea?

Thanks in advance.

Luca
