It's pretty hard to tell, given what you're telling us. The UPDATE
will take a write-blocking lock on each of the rows for the duration
of the transaction. You shouldn't have any table locks, unless
you're not telling us something. You should post more detail. Why
do you think you have table locks, to begin with?
