Whether it is advisable to use SemaphoreSlim in db transaction?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I have this piece of code that I am using for updating a record.
I want to know how to use SemaphoreSlim if there are multiple await statement in one block of code.



Whether deadlock and recursive locks can occur for the below piece of code, and when it occurs,how to avoid Deadlock and recursive locks when we are using SemaphoreSlim?



SemaphoreSlim writelock = new SemaphoreSlim(1,1);

Public async task AddValueToDB(Valuedto value)
{
try{
await writelock.WaitAsync();
_db.tblAction.add(Valuedto);
await _db.SavechangesAsync();
}
catch(Exception ex){throw ex;}
finally{writelock.Release();}
}
}


Please let me know if you want any more information about my requirement.

    Well you shouldn't be sharing Entity Framework contexts between threads so this question is perhaps moot. stackoverflow.com/questions/52027908/…

    ...by the way you can delete the catch(Exception ex){throw ex;} line. It's perfectly fine just to do a try-finally. There's no catch to it (pun intended)

    And throw ex is not a rethrow. It's a new throw of a new exception. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/…

  • When? Never. It's never needed but can easily cause trouble by holding database locks for longer, increasing blocking and possibly causing deadlocks. Why do you think you need any kind of locking in the first place? What are you trying to do?

  • If you want to insert records fast, use SqlBulkCopy to insert data using the bulk copy mechanism of SQL Server with minimal locking and logging. Or just make all Add calls and call SaveChangesAsync() only once at the end. EF will generate a batch of statements and execute them all at once.
