Snippet Name: LOCKS: Table Locking

Description: The basic idea of locking is that when a user modifies data through a transaction, that data is locked by that transaction until the transaction is committed or rolled back. The lock is held until the transaction is complete - this known as data concurrency.

The second purpose of locking is to ensure that all processes can always access (read) the original data as they were at the time the query began (uncommitted modification), This is known as read consistency.
