Description

<PARA>
<command>LOCK</command> locks in exclusive mode a table inside
a transaction. The classic use for this is
the case where you want to select some data, then
update it inside a transaction.
If you don't explicit lock a table using LOCK statement, it will be
implicit locked only at the first
<command>UPDATE</command>, <command>INSERT</command>,
or <command>DELETE</command> operation.
If you don't exclusive lock the table before the select, some
other user may also read the selected data, and try and do
their own update, causing a deadlock while you both wait
for the other to release the select-induced shared lock so
you can get an exclusive lock to do the update.
</para>
<para>
Another example of deadlock is where one user locks one
table, and another user locks a second table. While both
keep their existing locks, the first user tries to lock
the second user's table, and the second user tries to lock
the first user's table. Both users deadlock waiting for
the tables to become available. The only solution to this
is for both users to lock tables in the same order, so
user's lock acquisitions and requests to not form a deadlock.
</para>
<note>
<para>
<productname>Postgres</productname> does detect deadlocks and will
rollback transactions to resolve the deadlock. Usually, at least one
of the deadlocked transactions will complete successfully.
