Обсуждение: How to isolate the result of SELECT's?
Hi, I need to do an operation that I will use some SELECT's and get the results, but I want to have sure that those tables have not been changed with INSERT's or UPDATES during the operation. Example: BEGIN OPERATION Select field from table1; ... Select other_field from table2; ... END OPERATION How can I lock these tables to assure that the tables are not getting INSERTS's or UPDATE's during the operation? Best Regards,

Hi,
I need to do an operation that I will use some SELECT's and get the
results, but I want to have sure that those tables have not been
changed with INSERT's or UPDATES during the operation.
Example:
BEGIN OPERATION
Select field from table1;
...
Select other_field from table2;
...
END OPERATION
How can I lock these tables to assure that the tables are not getting
INSERTS's or UPDATE's during the operation?
Best Regards,\
Isn't that what 'begin transaction' and 'commit' are for?

Rather than replicate the docs in a post, I suggest you take a look at: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/mvcc.html It explains the various options you have very well. > > Best Regards, > -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@gmail.com

If you set transaction isolation level to repeatable, the tables may undergo changes, but you will get repeatable reads. Explicitly locking the tables is another option.

In all likelihood you do not want to do what you described (lock the tables.) You have to have a basic understanding ofMVCC and transaction isolation levels to determine if the default behavior of mvcc + 'read committed' is sufficient. Ina lot of cases it is.
