Description

CommitShared

A shared lock is established on the specified object. Other shared locks can be created for the same object.

A shared lock prevents transactions containing write operations, such as an Execute method call running an Alter command, on a specified object, from committing until the shared lock is removed. A shared lock does not prevent transactions containing read operations, such as a Discover method call or an Execute method call running a Statement command, from committing.

CommitExclusive

An exclusive lock is established on the specified object. Other shared or exclusive locks cannot be created for the same object.

An exclusive lock prevents transactions containing either read or write operations on a specified object from committing until the exclusive lock is removed.
