jamiemcconnell Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Hi there, It is possible to lock an entire table through a MySQL query this page best explains it http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/lock-tables.html Just dont forget to unlock it again!

piznac Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 Jamie, Thanks for the help...one more question. This statement has me a bit confused = Normally, you do not need to lock tables, because all single UPDATE statements are atomic; no other thread can interfere with any other currently executing SQL statement. does this mean I should not worry about locking table, because it does it by itself?
