here is an example in perl
my $sthLock = $dbh->prepare("LOCK TABLES table1 WRITE, table2 WRITE")

could there ever be a possibility of a race condition or dead lock
where you have two threads that access the code almost at the same time

One gets a lock on table one and another gets a lock on table 2.
Then they result in deadlock trying to get a lock on the other table.

could this ever happen using the lock tables command in MySQL?
