我有一个很大的表，其中我必须更新几行。我尝试使用多个线程同时更新不同的行，但是mysql似乎锁定了表中的所有行，而不是只锁定那些与where子句匹配的行。因此，更新不是并发的，有时会导致锁超时错误。
有没有办法同时更新不同的行？
我在后台使用django来执行更新操作。我可以换成postgres，但它会有帮助还是仍然有锁的问题？
更新：添加了代码段：

def process_calculate_training(base_dept, exch_dept):
    # First initialize training to None, this is not happening concurrently.
    Emp.objects.filter(exch_dept=exch_dept, base_dept=base_dept).update(training=None)
    # Compute training and store result
    pass
def start_calculating_training():
    thread_func_args = [['MECH', 'COE'], ['MECH', 'ECE'], ['MECH', 'ICE'], ['MECH', 'IT']]
    with ThreadPool(4) as p:
        p.starmap(process_calculate_training, thread_func_args)

更新：执行'show engine innodb status；'
发现django自动将隔离级别设置为“read committed”。因此mysql只锁定那些需要更新的行。但是更新并不是同时进行的，因为两个线程似乎在等待锁，即使它们必须更新不同的行。
是的 show engine innodb status; 在并发更新操作期间。结果如下：

一段时间后再次运行命令：

我不明白为什么两个线程不能得到锁，因为他们将更新不同的行？解决办法是什么？
