Abstract
Distributed locks (e.g., among a plurality of database management services) can be used for accessing a database to ensure data consistency in the database during concurrent continuous data processing and schema or data administration of the database. An exclusive lock of the database may not be held for all operations of an extract, transform, load (ETL) process to load data from a data source into the database. Schema changes that occur to a database schema of the database in the middle of the ETL process when the exclusive lock is not held can be resolved.
