You cannot open a connection with exclusive mode. Depending on your database engine, you can lock tables or rows in exclusive mode. In Oracle you would create a statement st and run st.execute(“lock table mytable in exclusive mode”); Then when you are finished with the table, execute the commit to unlock the table. Mysql, informix and SQLServer all have a slightly different syntax for this function, so you’ll have to change it depending on your database. But they can all be done with execute().
