Best practices when using database locks

When working with database locks, it is important to follow best practices to ensure smooth and efficient operations. Here are some best practices to keep in mind:

• Use locks when they are needed: Applying locks can affect performance, so only do it when it’s absolutely required. Reduce the time that locks are in place. Locks should be applied as late as possible, and then released as soon as they are no longer required.
• Use appropriate lock granularity: Instead of locking entire tables or large sections, lock the specific rows or objects that need protection. This limits the scope of the lock and improves concurrency.
• Understand transaction isolation levels: The acquisition and release of locks are affected by various isolation levels. Learn about the many isolation levels that are available and select the best one for your application’s concurrency and consistency requirements.
• Avoid deadlocks: The use of explicit...
