Hello everyone, We are using MySQL as the database backend on quite a big portal page with about 50.000 users and 3 mio. PIs per day. MySQL is as well the backend for the (php) session management. We are using a heap for that case as well as for instance phpbb does. Lately we are experiencing long lasting table locks due to deletes or updates on the session table. I know that heap tables only support table wide locking, but shouldn't those locks be gone quite fast? I have already checked the obvious reasons for this kind of behaviour like swapping but I couldn't find anything. Even googling didn't bring anything useful up. Hopefully someone got some ideas to solve this problem :-)
