Hi.
I've always had trouble understanding how to properly deal with the
following case.
I need to run an insert on a table but I don't want any other
transactions to commit the insert before me. Within the logic of the
program, I run a select to see if there is a value there, then the
insert. Between these 2 statements someone could commit one that
causes the insert to fail.
Is there a better way to do this than locking the table in SHARE ROW
EXCLUSIVE MODE and trying to be certain that anything else that may
call an insert there asks for the same type of lock?
