Iam trying to acquire rowlevel locks in postgresql. I try doing this:
 'select * from students where name='Larry' for update;
But by looking at the holding array of proclock , I've noticed that by doing this only
AccessShareLock gets acquired which is a table level lock.
How do I acquire rowlevelock and what fields of Lock or Proclock datastructures indicate it.
Thanks
Jenny
