The Show Locks utility display provides this information:
- Summary of the showlocks function
- Name of the databases, tables, and hash IDs on which locks are placed
- Username that placed each lock
- Lock mode: read, write, exclusive, or access
- Identification numbers of the AMPs on which the locked database or table resides
- Job identifier (only for DSA archive/recovery operations)
- Proxy table locks, which enable sequential locking on all-AMP table locks
Show Locks reports All AMPs rather than individual AMP numbers when the locked database or table resides on all AMPs. Information is provided for only the most restrictive lock a user has placed on an object.
When no locks are found, Showlocks reports this message:
There are currently no host utility locks in the DBS.
Example: Show Locks Output with ARC HUT Locks
In this example, exclusive locks are placed on the employee table in the personnel database and on the entire service database. One read lock is placed on the parts database, and another read lock on the invoice table in the accounting database.
