A database system includes a locking mechanism for a materialized view defined on base relations. In response to updates of a base relation, a predefined lock (e.g., Y lock or IY lock) is placed on the materialized view. With the locking mechanism, transaction concurrency is enhanced by enabling concurrent updates of a materialized view by plural transactions in certain cases.
