Is there a way if one transaction has locked a row in a table, the next
transaction does not get blocked while reading the same row, but moves on to
the next record in the table to read?
Example:
Transaction 1
Select * from table LIMIT 1 FOR UPDATE
--transaction takes 3 min to complete
Transaction 2
Select * from table LIMIT 1 FOR UPDATE
Here, transaction 2 blocks on the same record that transaction 1 has a write
lock on (for 3 min). Is there a way to tell transaction 2 to move on and get
the next writable record?
Thanks,
