|
||||
|
||||
Let me add to this. One problem is that my description would sometimes
|
||||
lock the tables in different orders, and that is a recipe for deadlock.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have to release earlier locks to wait on a later lock, once you
|
||||
get the later lock, you must release it and then start from the
|
||||
beginning, locking them in order again. If you don't, the system could
|
||||
report a deadlock at random times, which would be very bad.
|
||||
|
||||
I'll add something, too. :) I think this derived from a suggestion I
|
||||
made long ago. My idea was that when multiple tables need locking, a
|
||||
deadlock can occur in the process of doing them one at a time. My
|
||||
suggested solution was based on an analogy with the way ethernet
|
||||
packets work.
|
||||
|
||||
- go through the list locking tables along the way.
|
||||
|
||||
- if a lock cannot be obtained within some time, release some (all?) locks,
|
||||
and try again after some random time.
|
||||
|
||||
- keep trying (and releasing as needed) until some other timeout
|
||||
passes, and then punt.
|
||||
|
||||
My thought was that if colliding locks are occuring, some sequence of
|
||||
relinquishing locks (not necessarily all of them with each trial),
|
||||
waiting, and reasserting them should work around the collisions.
|
||||
Introducing random components to this might reduce the overall waiting
|
||||
time, but I suppose a careful analysis of this needs to be done.
|
||||
Perhaps just releasing all of the locks, waiting a random time, and
|
||||
trying again is enough.
|
||||
|
||||
Somehow there has to be a mechanism for atomically asserting locks on
|
||||
more than one table.
|
||||
|
||||
Cheers,
|
||||
Brook

Guys, have a look at:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.freebsd.org/~terry/iml.txt
|
||||
http://jazz.external.hp.com/training/sqltables/c5s17.html
|
||||
|
||||
It's a way to do locking with deadlock detection, and without loosing
|
||||
your place in line for locks, very nifty imo.
