What’s difference between “Optimistic” and “Pessimistic” locking?- In pessimistic locking, when a user opens a data to update it, a lock is granted. Other users can only view the data until the whole transaction of the data update is completed.
- In optimistic locking, a data is opened for updating by multiple users. A lock is granted only during the update transaction and not for the entire session. Due to this concurrency is increased and is a practical approach of updating the data. What’s difference between “Optimistic” and “Pessimistic” locking?Pessimistic locking :
On updating the data, the record gets locked and no one else can access that record for updating. It becomes a read-only record till the lock is released. Once the lock gets released, the record can be locked again and get updated for a different user.
Optimistic locking :
This allows multiple user to open up the same record for updation . Record gets locked only while updating the record. This is the most preferred way of locking for the web application.
