Introduction to Locking Locking is a fundamental concept in computing, ensuring that resources are accessed safely in concurrent environments. It prevents race conditions where multiple processes or threads try to modify shared data simultaneously. Types of Locking Centralized Locking: A single server manages all locks, ensuring consistency. Used in databases (e.g., row-level locks in SQL databases). Distributed Locking: Used when multiple nodes need synchronized access to shared resources.
