I am using PL/SQL functions on Windows 2003, version 8.0.1.
I have not used explicit PostgreSQL LOCKing before, but I need some advice
on how properly to use some explicit locking. I think that duplicate key
violations I am now getting are the result.
I want to force transactions being used to update a table to be processed on
a first-come, first-served basis. I want my Pl/sql function to execute to
completion on each transaction before another starts.
Need some advice on how to do this. From what I can read in the docs, it
looks like I need to solve the problem by using the following, but doing so
gives me an SPI_execution error: BEGIN; LOCK <table> IN SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE MODE; lock adns_report_hour_history in
sharerow exclusive mode; INSERT INTO <table> VALUES ... - or - UPDATE <table> SET .... COMMIT;
Will this make the next transaction wait until the previous transaction has
completed? Do I need to set any config parameters?
If you can include an actual code snippet in the response, it would help ...
