If you are retrieving
|
||
<span>a record from the database</span>
|
||
|
||
|
||
for the purpose of modifying or deleting it, you should declare
|
||
a read-modify-write cycle at the time that you read the
|
||
<span>record.</span>
|
||
|
||
Doing so causes DB to obtain write locks (instead of a read
|
||
locks) at the time of the read. This helps to prevent deadlocks by
|
||
preventing another transaction from acquiring a read lock on the same
|
||
record while the read-modify-write cycle is in progress.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Note that declaring a read-modify-write cycle may actually increase the amount of blocking that your
|
||
application sees, because readers immediately obtain write locks and write locks cannot be shared. For this
|
||
reason, you should use read-modify-write cycles only if you are seeing a large amount of deadlocking
|
||
occurring in your application.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
In order to declare a read/modify/write cycle when you perform a
|
||
read operation,
|
||
|
||
<span>
|
||
pass the <code class="literal">DB_RMW</code> flag
|
||
<span>
|
||
to the database or cursor get method.
|
||
</span>
|
||
|
||
|
||
</span>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
For example:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting">retry:
|
||
/* Get the transaction */
|
||
ret = envp->txn_begin(envp, NULL, &txn, 0);
|
||
if (ret != 0) {
|
||
envp->err(envp, ret, "txn_begin failed");
|
||
return (EXIT_FAILURE);
|
||
}
|
||
...
|
||
/* key and data are Dbts. Their usage is omitted for brevity. */
|
||
...
|
||
/* Get the data. Declare the read/modify/write cycle here */
|
||
ret = dbp->get(dbp, txn, &key, &data, DB_RMW);
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
/* Modify the key and data as is required (not shown here) */
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
/* Put the data. Note that you do not have to provide any additional
|
||
* flags here due to the read/modify/write cycle. Simply put the
|
||
* data and perform your deadlock detection as normal.
|
||
*/
|
||
ret = dbp->put(dbp, txn, &key, &data, 0);
|
||
switch (ret) {
|
||
/* Deadlock detection omitted for brevity */
|
||
.... </pre>
