SELECT FOR UPDATE with SQL Server

Question

I\'m using a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database with isolation level READ_COMMITTED and READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT=ON.

Now I want to use:

Answer 1

How about trying to do a simple update on this row first (without really changing any data)? After that you can proceed with the row like in was selected for update.

UPDATE dbo.Customer SET FieldForLock = FieldForLock WHERE CustomerID = @CustomerID
/* do whatever you want */

Edit: you should wrap it in a transaction of course

Edit 2: another solution is to use SERIALIZABLE isolation level
