Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, system, and computer program product for block level lock on a data table. According to the method, in response to first transactional processing to be applied on a data table, one or more processors determine that first target data to be accessed during execution of the first transactional processing is comprised in a continuous range of data in the data table. One or more processors determine whether a block lock is available for locking the continuous range of data for the first transactional processing. In accordance with a determination that the block lock is available, one or more processors grant the first transactional processing with the block lock, the block lock being associated with lock information indicating the continuous range of data.
