How to unlock a table in Informix?

@eda.wolff To unlock a table in Informix, you can use the UNLOCK TABLE statement. Here's the syntax:

1

UNLOCK TABLE table-name [ IN dbspace-name ];

For example, if you want to unlock the "customers" table in the "store" database, you can use the following statement:

1

UNLOCK TABLE store.customers;

Keep in mind that you can only unlock tables that you have previously locked with the LOCK TABLE statement. If you try to unlock a table that you haven't locked, you will get an error.

Additionally, it's important to note that only the same session that locked the table can unlock it. If you are in a different session or connection, you will not be able to unlock the table.

If you need to unlock a table but don't have access to the session that locked it, you can try restarting the Informix database server. However, this should only be done as a last resort, as it can cause downtime and potential data loss. It's always best to try and resolve the issue using the session that locked the table if possible.
