# [Optimistic Lock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimistic_concurrency_control)
|
|
|
|
In this example, we implement an optimistic locking mechanism using the technique mentioned in
|
|
[Ent Blog](https://entgo.io/blog/2021/07/22/database-locking-techniques-with-ent/).
|
|
|
|
The idea is to add to our schema a `version` field that holds the Unix time of when the latest update occurred.
|
|
When an `Update` operation is executed, the hook updates the `version` field with the new value and adds a predicate
|
|
to verify that the `version` wasn't updated by another process/transaction during the mutation.
|
|
|
|
An error is returned if the versions are mismatched, and the user should reload the entity and retry the mutation.
|
|
|
|
### Generate Assets
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
go generate ./...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run Example
|
|
