Обсуждение: Problem with lock?

I run the following SQL before updating one table:

"lock table tablename"

but when I try do update the same table later on, the lock table command just hangs (i.e the table is already locked).
It was my understanding that this lock was removed when I call commit or do I have to explicitly unlock the table somehow?


Regards,

It looks like it was a one time happening... I restarted the database
and then tried again and then it all worked like a charm.... Hmmm....

Show us what commands you are running, in what sequence, how many
sessions, etc.
