I need clear example about SOQL Record Locking : For Update

can any one explain me about locking statements.

when the record is locked.
when the record is released.

If I understand correct, the record is locked when the querry is made and gets released after the whole transaction is completed.

Hi Ramakrishnan,

When in Query,you use 'FOR UPDATE' the record will be locked till transaction is complete for any other user except you. And ofcourse it will get released after transaction is complete !

Thanks
AMit
