 - If you need to read and later update a row within a transaction, use `SELECT ... FOR UPDATE` to acquire an exclusive lock on the row. This guarantees data integrity between the transaction's read and write operations.
 
-- If you need to read the latest version of a row, but not update the row, use `SELECT ... FOR SHARE` to acquire a shared lock on the row. This blocks all concurrent writes on the row without unnecessarily blocking concurrent reads.
+- If you need to read the latest version of a row, and later update a **different** row within a transaction, use `SELECT ... FOR SHARE` to acquire a shared lock on the row. This blocks all concurrent writes on the row without unnecessarily blocking concurrent reads or other `SELECT ... FOR SHARE` queries.

 	This allows an application to build cross-row consistency constraints by ensuring that rows that are read in a `READ COMMITTED` transaction will not change before the writes in the same transaction have been committed.

 Type | Description
 -----|------------
-**Transaction Retry Errors** | Errors with the code `40001` and string `restart transaction`, which indicate that a transaction failed because it could not be placed in a [serializable ordering]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/demo-serializable.md %}) of transactions by CockroachDB. This occurs under [`SERIALIZABLE`]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/demo-serializable.md %}) isolation and only rarely under [`READ COMMITTED`]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/read-committed.md %})  isolation. For details on transaction retry errors and how to resolve them, see the [Transaction Retry Error Reference]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/transaction-retry-error-reference.md %}#actions-to-take).

 **Ambiguous Errors** | Errors with the code `40003` which indicate that the state of the transaction is ambiguous, i.e., you cannot assume it either committed or failed. How you handle these errors depends on how you want to resolve the ambiguity. For information about how to handle ambiguous errors, see [here]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/common-errors.md %}#result-is-ambiguous).
 **SQL Errors** | All other errors, which indicate that a statement in the transaction failed. For example, violating the `UNIQUE` constraint generates a `23505` error. After encountering these errors, you can either issue a [`COMMIT`]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/commit-transaction.md %}) or [`ROLLBACK`]({% link {{ page.version.version }}/rollback-transaction.md %}) to abort the transaction and revert the database to its state before the transaction began.<br><br>If you want to attempt the same set of statements again, you must begin a completely new transaction.
