Hello

May i know if i run the update below  if the row select in SELECT FOR UPDATE will not be available for selection during update?

UPDATE table1 set status_id=13 WHERE id= ( SELECT id FROM table2 where status_id=1 LIMIT 1) RETURNING id into v_id;

Which update?   The way it works is by locking - Ihe row is available but locked and may require waiting.
