locking issue

In databases and transaction processing, two-phase locking (2PL) is a concurrency control method that guarantees serializability.
It is also the name of the resulting set of database transaction schedules (histories). The protocol uses locks, applied by a transaction to data, which may block (interpreted as signals to stop) other transactions from accessing the same data during the transaction's life.
By the 2PL protocol, locks are applied and removed in two phases:

Expanding phase: locks are acquired and no locks are released.
Shrinking phase: locks are released and no locks are acquired.Two types of locks are used by the basic protocol: Shared and Exclusive locks. Refinements of the basic protocol may use more lock types. Using locks that block processes, 2PL may be subject to deadlocks that result from the mutual blocking of two or more transactions.

After a short drive home (1.5 miles max) I found that the rear doors would not open at all from the outside as if they were locked. Passenger and...

  3. My car has arrived 😀. Locking issue 😔

    Got an email to say my Orange Trophy arrived yesterday. Apparently it has a “locking issue” which they also had to resolve on the demonstrators that arrived in September. I think it will be 72 hours or so before I collect. Does anyone know what this locking issue is about?
