[One good description](https://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/isolation-levels-in-sql-server) If there are concurrent transactions that could be an issue: - T1 reads the data - decides that the CD is not used anymore - T2 inserts a new row - T1 drops the CD The previous version of the code read the data inside the transaction, we can change the behavior if we decide so, but that has to be a conscious decision. IMHO this is all theoretical since if I remember correctly the `openTransaction()` is called before this method call, so in our case the new `openTranscation()` call just increments a counter. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.

This select count(1) statement does not > scale well in Postgres, and there is no index for CD_ID column in SDS table. > For a SDS table with with 1.5 million rows, select count(1) has average 700ms > without index, while in 10-20ms with index. But the statement before > HIVE-9447( SELECT * FROM "SDS" "A0" WHERE "A0"."CD_ID" = $1 limit 1) uses > less than 10ms . -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
