Hi I have this scenario and would like to use lock table for this but I don't know which mode I should use.
When I delete/update/insert a record from/to a table, I need to update some fields of all the records in this table. During this process I don't want anyone to insert, update or delete the data but allow them to select the data at the original state. I am currently using: LOCK TABLE tbl_name IN SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE MODE Is this the correct mode to use?
