I think I have understood the answers from that question :
Repeatable Read - am I understanding this right?
but I have a complementary question for the repeatable read scenario. It is said :
REPEATABLE READ
1 SELECT -- places a shared lock and keeps it
2 UPDATE -- tries to places an exclusive lock but it's not compatible with the shared lock. Locks
1 SELECT -- the lock is already placed. Succeeds.
But what if the update is made by transaction 1 ? Will it be blocked too because of non compatible lock ?
