Database Locks

[Krishnan Y N]

Hi,

As per HFE page 301, the container tells the db to try and lock the row that corresponds to the entity that is being operated upon.. What is the expected behaviour if that row is already locked by some other application ?

TIA

It will depend upon the database locking mechanism configured. The folowing link gives some information on this.
