Locking is an important concept in maintaining the integrity of data in a concurrent application.

Pessimistic locking is the basic form of locking in which we obtain the lock on the database table or record that we are going to update. All the other threads wait for the lock to be released before starting their operation. It means that you need an exclusive lock before updating a record.

Optimistic locking is another way of locking in which we just check if anyone else has updated the data before us, then we reject the transaction and reread the data. We generally use a versioning scheme by implementing a version column in data.
