FOR ANY UPDATE, synonym of FOR UPDATE FOR KEY UPDATE, optimized version, when it applies to your case I also tend to think that we should better not change the current meaning of FOR UPDATE and have it default to FOR ANY UPDATE. Unless it's easy to upgrade from ANY to KEY, and do that automatically at the right time, but I fear there lie dragons (or something).
