Re: sql and nolock -- MIDRANGE-L

Depends on the isolation level...

At "no commit" which I suspect is what the majority used, then no selects
don't lock the data.

Exception, where I would use a "for read only" is when defining a cursor...

thanks Dave - i'll show my ignorance by asking this and can certainly go
google and research but can you provide a brief statement or two about

why

you practice that?

The standard here is to practice "optimistic locking" across the
board. So, we always want to avoid actual locks on reads.

Sincerely,
