How to update contacts in Salesforce?

Suppose we want to update 10,000 contacts in Salesforce. We configure our ETL to push the updates in batches of 200, serially, using the SOAP API. Per batch, Salesforce will do the following: 1 Lock the 200 contacts (in the batch). 2 Lock the parent accounts of those contacts. 3 Build a set of transactions to process, limiting the number of times it needs to lock the same record. So, in our case, it would group the contacts by those that share the same parent account and then process them as a single transaction. With a single update to the parent account. 4 If Salesforce can’t obtain a lock on the parent account record, the whole transaction fails and an error is issued for each contact in the transaction. 5 If Salesforce can lock the parent account, but not for one of the contacts in the transaction, the update fails for that one contact only.
