Locking with WAIT & NOWAIT

in the code in our application, i am seeing locking in my front-ent developer 2000 code, where there are 2 forms of locking specified like
a) For update of <field_name> nowait
b) For update of <field_name>
So, here, i am not able to understand the difference between WAIT & NOWAIT. Please help in solving the doubt.
regards.

Hi,
With the NOWAIT option the select for update will return an error (resource busy) if the desired row is locked by another session. Without the option it will hang until the locking is possible i.e. when the other session has committed or rollbacked its changes.

Pl sql row level locking with wait ?

Hi,
I am using oracle 10g.
I am new to Oracle locks. I have two tables Table1(id_no, employee, salary) and Table2(id_no, employee, salary).
I need to pull any requested row from Table1 into Table2 only once on demand. I have a procedure to pull data and there could be more than one requests try to call same procedure to pull a row from Table1 into Table2 at any given time.
I coded below to achieve row level lock. if one transaction gets row level lock on Table1 at 2, so other Transactions should wait till the lock is released at line 2 or 5 to avoid duplicates.
But below code is not working, I am getting duplicates when I call this using two concurrent java threads.
How do I control this concurrency issue so that I can avoid duplicate entries in Table2. Could any one please help?
1.begin
2.select 0 into emp_cnt
3.from Table1 where id=id_no
4.for update;
5.update Table1 set employee='xyz'
6.where id=id_no;
7.select count(*) into table2_cnt from Table2 where id=id_no;
8.if(table2_cnt =0) then
9.code to insert above row from Table1 to Table2;
10.end if;
11.commit;
12.End;

Welcome to the forums and welcome to Oracle.
Lets establish one thing right from the beginning ... the Oracle Database is not a Microsoft product.
There is no general reason to use row level locks, you should not want to use row level locks, you don't need row level locks, and you will almost never have any valid reason to consider row level locks.
That said there are two situations were it may be necessary to lock a row prior to an update or delete (possibly in a merge) and in those cases you want to use the built-in SELECT FOR UPDATE syntax. (Demo here: http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/deadlocks.html#dlfu). But we should be clear here ... one rarely needs to use this locking mechanism as the chances of a collision in a well designed application are essentially zero.
Also as you are new to Oracle please explore the dynamic performance view V$RESERVED_WORDS and do not name objects, columns, etc. with reserved word names not that there is an excuse in any product to name a column "ID." Something Joe Celko has railed about for decades and a tradition I think we should all follow.
In the case of your posted code example (btw please read the FAQ and learn how to use tags) the solution is SELECT FOR UPDATE if locking can be justified which is unlikely.

HT1212 I found an iphone over one year ago. Its locked with a passcode. I kept waiting for the owner to call it. They never did. I went to ATT store today, they put a new sim card in it. but now itunes needs the passcode to reset it to factory settings.

I found an iphone over one year ago. Its locked with a passcode. I kept waiting for the owner to call it. They never did. I went to an AT&T store today, they put a new sim card in it. and told me to go home, log on to itunes, and restore the phone to "factory settings".But itunes says the phone is locked and it needs the passcode to reset it to factory settings.
Any workaround? Or, am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks so much.
Joe

Sounds like you may be the owner of a new phone! If you don't need or want it and no one claims it you probably can sell it. Check eBay to see what the going rate is.
You are to be commended for at least trying to find the owner. Many wouldn't.
Best.

After purchasing songs at the itunes store, ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. Also a lock symbol is now on the ipod touch. How do I fix this

After purchasing songs at the itunes store, my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
This was the first purchase I made.

Are you following these instructions?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Where is the lock icon on the screen?

You will have to contact orange to get your phone unlock. ONly the carrier that the phone is locked to can unlock the phone.

I have an ipod touch 8gb that is disabled. on the screen it reads ipod disabled connect to itunes. But when i connect it to itunes, it says that it cant work with the ipod because it is locked with a passcode. what now?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

In Numbers, how do I lock in the date and time data when an IF/THEN formula is used with the "NOW" function?

In Numbers, how do I lock in the date and time data when an IF/THEN formula is used with the "NOW" function?
=IF(I127,NOW()," ")
I127 equals a check box. The formula retuns a value of the current date and time when a check is placed in the box. How does one lock that date and time so that it cannot be changed?

I don't think it is possible to lock in the date and time using a formula. You could put NOW() in a cell, copy, and Edit Paste Formula Results where you want the result.
Or if you are "time stamping" a lot, you may find this Automator Service (Dropbox download) helpful. It puts a "Today" function (actually it should be named "Now" because it includes both date and time) in your Services menu like this:
Just doubleclick the .workflow package to install it. You may have to click "download anyway" in System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
If you want you can assign the service a keyboard shortcut in System Preferences here:

Go to an Apple store or authorized Apple service provider.

Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
Then... see Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
After you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...

"Ok, but Whats happen if the carrier said that I need the first contract personal information.."
Then you need the first contract personal information.
" I Know that all the companys have to unlock de phone... ¿?¿?"
Not true.
"Apple could help me then¿?¿? unlocking the Iphone beacuse Apple always have the last word...
No. Apple has no part in the decision ot lock or unlock at all. Lock/unlock is 100% the decision of the carrier. Apple has nothing to do with this decision.

Set computer to lock with password in 5 seconds. now cannot open in time because of the 5 second shutdown. What can I do to now get into my computer??

I'm not sure which option you set. Requiring the password after 5 seconds in System Preferences > Security only kicks in after the sleep or screen saver. The smallest option for sleep or screen saver is 1 minute.
Which options did you set?

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync your content to it.
If you do it via a different computer that it's not normally synced to then (from here) :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

Hello jlb1977,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Best of luck,
Mario

You need the original owner to remove the device from his or her account. There is no workaround.
