Обсуждение: PostgreSQL and multiple database access
Hi,
I work in an environment where people can update the PostgreSQL database from several sites (insert, update, delete statements).
If two people try to update, insert or delete the same row at the same time, or if one deletes a row that the other is viewing and trying to update, in postgreSQL, what happens??
I'm looking from success/failure stories, tips anything that can help me code consequently!
TIA
T.J.
Chapter 10 of Bruce's book has a really good discussion of locking and all that.(I was reading it yesterday.) The book is at
Barnes

You could use locking for this (as someone else suggested) but you'd probably be better off using transactions. That way no one will get an error, and whoever commits last will have the final say of what the record is set to.
