Synopsis

forUpdate :: Select a -> Select a

Documentation

forUpdate :: Select a -> Select a Source #

Adds a FOR UPDATE clause to the Select.

Postgres has strong restrictions regarding the SELECT clauses to which a FOR UPDATE can be added. Opaleye makes no attempt to enforce those restrictions through its type system so it's very easy to create queries that fail at run time using this operation.
