-| `FOR UPDATE` | The `SELECT FOR UPDATE` clause locks all the data in the result sets to detect concurrent updates from other transactions. Data that match the query conditions but do not exist in the result sets are not read-locked, such as the row data written by other transactions after the current transaction is started. When TiDB uses the [Optimistic Transaction Mode](/optimistic-transaction.md), the transaction conflicts are not detected in the statement execution phase. Therefore, the current transaction does not block other transactions from executing `UPDATE`, `DELETE` or `SELECT FOR UPDATE` like other databases such as PostgreSQL. In the committing phase, the rows read by `SELECT FOR UPDATE` are committed in two phases, which means they can also join the conflict detection. If write conflicts occur, the commit fails for all transactions that include the `SELECT FOR UPDATE` clause. If no conflict is detected, the commit succeeds. And a new version is generated for the locked rows, so that write conflicts can be detected when other uncommitted transactions are being committed later. When TiDB uses the [Pessimistic Transaction Mode](/pessimistic-transaction.md), the behavior is basically the same as other databases. Refer to [Difference with MySQL InnoDB](/pessimistic-transaction.md#difference-with-mysql-innodb) to see the details. TiDB supports the `NOWAIT` modifier for `FOR UPDATE`. See [TiDB Pessimistic Transaction Mode](/pessimistic-transaction.md#behaviors) for details. |
