First, a quibble about the logic. Between the time a row is re-read for
changes and the time you write-lock it, it is possible for another
process
to update the row. It would seem sounder to explicitly write-lock it up
front, make your changes, then unlock it. But secondly, LOCK is not
permitted in MySQL stored procs, so if you want to use MyISAM
and LOCK, you have to issue the LOCK outside the sproc, eg
SET GLOBAL log_bin_trust_routine_creators=TRUE;
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS UpdTime;
LOCK TABLES test WRITE;
DELIMITER |
CREATE PROCEDURE UpdTime( IN readid INT, IN newtime TIMESTAMP )
BEGIN
UPDATE test SET time=newtime WHERE id=readid;
END;
|
DELIMITER ;
UNLOCK TABLES;
or more elegantly, convert the table to InnoDB and use a transaction to
accomplish
the same effect.

What I am trying to migrate out of my program code is a procedure to do the
following for update commands.
1) Determine that the ID Field and the Last Updated Timestamp Field is
still the same as when the data was originally read.
2) If not the same then Raise an error back to the program so It can
determine the action.
3) If the same then lock row and perform update.
Future development of this could extend to remove more out of code to handle
when the two don't match. The procedure there is
1) Compare Original Field Value to Current Value in Memory if the two
don't match then
2) IF the Original Field Value and the Current Value Stored in Table
Match then update Field IF not then raise error and prompt user for action.
This may be more information than required, but some one out their might be
doing similar things that they can point me in the direction of some more
documentation or even better still a few Example scripts that I can pull
apart and learn from.
