The invention discloses a database record updating control method and device. The method includes the steps that a database record to be updated is obtained; the database record is positioned through a main key; a first field to be updated is updated, and the version number of the database record in a memory is controlled to add one to the version number; in the process of updating the first field to be updated, when an updating request for updating a second field to be updated is obtained, the database record is positioned through the main key; the second field to be updated is located in the database record; the version number of the database record in the memory and the version number of the database record in a database are obtained; when the difference value generated by subtracting the version number of the database record in the database from the version number of the database record in the memory is one, the second field to be updated is updated. By the adoption of the technical scheme, the problems that in the prior art, a concurrency control method is prone to causing deadlock and the concurrency efficiency can be lowered can be avoided.
