provides for cases when you might need more restrictive locking.
For example, suppose an application runs a transaction at the
Read Committed isolation level and needs to ensure that data in a
table remains stable for the duration of the transaction. To
achieve this you could obtain <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SHARE</TT
> lock mode over the
table before querying. This will prevent concurrent data changes
and ensure subsequent reads of the table see a stable view of
committed data, because <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SHARE</TT
> lock mode conflicts with
the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>ROW EXCLUSIVE</TT
> lock acquired by writers, and your
<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>LOCK TABLE <TT
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
><I
>name</I
></TT
> IN SHARE MODE</TT
>
statement will wait until any concurrent holders of <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>ROW
EXCLUSIVE</TT
> mode locks commit or roll back. Thus, once you
obtain the lock, there are no uncommitted writes outstanding;
furthermore none can begin until you release the lock.
</P
><P
> To achieve a similar effect when running a transaction at the
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>REPEATABLE READ</TT
> or <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SERIALIZABLE</TT
>
isolation level, you have to execute the <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>LOCK TABLE</TT
> statement
before executing any <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SELECT</TT
> or data modification statement.
A <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>REPEATABLE READ</TT
> or <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SERIALIZABLE</TT
> transaction's
view of data will be frozen when its first
<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SELECT</TT
> or data modification statement begins. A <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>LOCK
TABLE</TT
> later in the transaction will still prevent concurrent writes
— but it won't ensure that what the transaction reads corresponds to
the latest committed values.
</P
><P
> If a transaction of this sort is going to change the data in the
table, then it should use <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE</TT
> lock mode
instead of <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SHARE</TT
> mode. This ensures that only one
transaction of this type runs at a time. Without this, a deadlock
is possible: two transactions might both acquire <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SHARE</TT
>
mode, and then be unable to also acquire <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>ROW EXCLUSIVE</TT
>
mode to actually perform their updates. (Note that a transaction's
own locks never conflict, so a transaction can acquire <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>ROW
EXCLUSIVE</TT
> mode when it holds <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SHARE</TT
> mode — but not
if anyone else holds <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SHARE</TT
> mode.) To avoid deadlocks,
make sure all transactions acquire locks on the same objects in the
same order, and if multiple lock modes are involved for a single
object, then transactions should always acquire the most
restrictive mode first.

CLASS="COMMAND"

the mode names involving <TT

mode names should generally be read as indicating the intention of
the user to acquire row-level locks within the locked table. Also,
<TT

mind that all the lock modes have identical semantics so far as
<TT

about which modes conflict with which. For information on how to
acquire an actual row-level lock, see <A
