Hi ALL,
I have been using 5.1.24-rc and partitioning by range. I have noticed that while doing a set of SELECT statements on one of the partitions (e.g. p1) and at the same time doing an ALTER TABLE with drop or add a different partition (e.g. ALTER TABLE DROP or ADD PARTITION p10) all the select statements are placed on hold (Waiting for table). Would it be possible to know the reason for that ? My understanding was there there was a lock per partition, instead of "lock per table" ? Thanks in advance for your help, Mariella ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
