Exercise

Preventing non-repeatable reads

You are in charge of analyzing data about your bank customers.

You prepare a script that first selects the data of every customer. After that, your script needs to process some mathematical operations based on the result. (We won't focus on these operations for this exercise.) After that, you want to select the same data again, ensuring nothing has changed.

As this is critical, you think it is better if nobody can change anything in the customers table until you finish your analysis. In doing this, you prevent non-repeatable reads.
