Re: SQL AS/400 Question

Depends on what the statement is...

for example, if you are doing a group by function, then yes, the members of
the group are locked against updates during the processing of the group.

For upates, the record is locked for at least the duration of the update and
possibly longer based on the commitment control level of the program.
