Documentation

Definition

Specifies whether locking is on a line or page basis.

The lock group for the table concerned is specified here. When you are accessing the table, it determines whether just the relevant table entry (lock mode = ROW) is locked or whether all table entries on the same page are affected (lock mode = PAGE). In the SAP System, lock mode = ROW is normally defined for all tables, in order to guarantee a high number of parallel accesses. Please note that this also applies to index entries.

You can change this database parameter yourself; the change takes immediate effect. For performance reasons, however, you should use lock mode = PAGE only in exceptional cases.
