Manages global access to a table's data. By default a table has a input parameter lock_type of read_write, indicating all operations are permitted. A user may request a read_only or a write_only lock, after which only read or write operations, respectively, are permitted on the table until the lock is removed. When input parameter lock_type is no_access then no operations are permitted on the table. The lock status can be queried by setting input parameter lock_type to status.
