first of all, the transaction should implement whatever locking scenario the database implements, so depending on transaction isolation settings, whatever goes on inside your transaction should be reasonably isolated from other transactions. however, if you really have this insert/delete intensive environment, where you are going to have concurrent connections updating rows that are dependent on rows that some other process is deleting (an extremely rare scenario in reasonable practice), then you have to go through some more effort for that, namely doing everything inside of transactions, including acquiring your user to be deleted (the example below also illustrates "SELECT...FOR UPDATE", which ive never used...):
trans = session.create_transaction() try: user = session.query(User).with_lockmode('update').get(someid) session.delete(user) trans.commit() except: trans.rollback() --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
