Innodb is not row-level locking -- it's memory-page-level-locking. A memory page is usually small, so it's almost like row-level locking, but not quite. Perhaps you're running up against that?
What does the query log say which queries were running? How do you know it's the delete that's taking the lock, and not an update (the error message said an update or a delete)? -Sheeri On 2/10/06, Ady Wicaksono <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > So where's the row locking? > > I configure my database with Innodb + READ COMMITED, by this configuration > by using autocommit=1, delete should be done on data commited to disk. > Other thread should be able to insert/update. > > CMIIW > > > > Tables are locked on delete because, like an update, they are changing > > data. > > > > Imagine issuing a REPLACE statement after a DELETE statement.
