Exercise

Prevent phantom reads in a table

Today you have to analyze the data of every customer of your bank. As this information is very important, you think about locking the complete customers table, so that nobody will be able to change anything in this table. In doing this, you prevent phantom reads.

You prepare a script to select that information, and with the result of this selection, you need to process some mathematical operations. (We won't focus on these operations for this exercise.) After that, you want to select the same data again, ensuring nothing has changed.
