Abstract
A method and apparatus for managing shared resources in a clustered database management system is provided. In an embodiment, multiple master nodes exist in a database management system. A master node receives a lock request from a second node. The lock request is a request for a lock on a shared resource. The master node grants the lock request to the second node. While the second node holds the lock, the second node causes the master node to modify the shared resource.
