Four types of locks are available in JDBC. These are: -

  • Row and Key Locks: This kind of lock is used to update the rows.
  • Page Locks: This kind of lock is used for a page. It is used in the case when a transaction remains in the process and continuously updated, inserting, deleting the data in a row of the table. Page locks are performed its action by locking the entire page. But it is only used once by the database users.
  • Table locks: As the name suggests, Table locks are utilized to the table. This can be possibly done by the two methods that are shared and exclusive. A shared lock allows the other transactions to see the table but not let them update it. Nonetheless, the exclusive lock blocks others transaction from reading and writing the table.
  • Database locks: It is the lock that is used when the database is open and it helps to prevent the read and update access from other transactions. This kind of lock blocks the other transaction to perform an operation when there is any database opened.
