Documentation
Definition
Specifies the locking method used when performing a searched UPDATE or DELETE.
A value of 'No' means DB2 uses an S or U lock when scanning for qualifying rows. For any qualifying rows or pages the lock is upgraded to an X lock before performing the update or delete. For non-qualifying rows or pages the lock is released if using ISOLATION(CS). For ISOLATION(RS) or ISOLATION(RR), an S lock is retained on the rows or pages until the next commit point.
A value of 'Yes' means DB2 gets an X lock on qualifying rows or pages. For ISOLATION(CS), the lock is released if the rows or pages are not updated or deleted. For ISOLATION(RS) or ISOLATION(RR), an X lock is retained until the next commit point. A value of YES is beneficial in a data sharing environment when most or all searched updates and deletes use an index. If YES is specified and searched updates or deletes result in a table space scan, the likelihood of timeouts and deadlocks increases.
In R/3 environments recommended value is 'Yes'.
Installation parameter X LOCK FOR SEARCHED U/D on panel DSNTIPI.
