Examples

Using SHOW_LOCKS to see active locks

In this example, we create a table based on results (CREATE TABLE AS), but we are also effectively dropping the previous table (by using OR REPLACE). Thus, SQreamDB applies locks during the table creation process to prevent the table from being altered during it’s creation.

SELECT SHOW_LOCKS();
