Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction

This error message indicates that a transaction has been left open for too long, and it has caused a lock on a database resource that another transaction requires. This can happen when multiple transactions are trying to access the same resource simultaneously.

To resolve this error, you can try restarting the transaction by rolling it back and then starting again. Alternatively, you can increase the timeout period for the lock to allow more time for the transaction to complete. However, increasing the timeout period may not always be the best solution as it can lead to performance issues and cause other transactions to wait for longer periods.

It is also important to analyze the root cause of the lock wait timeout and take appropriate measures to prevent it from happening in the future. This may involve optimizing queries, improving database design, or reconfiguring the database server.
