I really appreciate the time you have taken to help me with this problem.
I will be out of the office until around 1:00PM and will try your
suggestions.
I did attach a copy of the query but it may have been stripped somewhere
along the line so I have placed it in line below.
select *
from payment_to_fee_link_budget_account_detail_link, journal_entry_master,
journal_entry_type,
payment_to_fee_link_event, payment_to_fee_link, fees, fees_event,
fees_budget_account_detail_link, person, transactions
left join regs on regs.transactions_serial =
transactions.transactions_serial,
transaction_event, receipt_master, budget_account_detail,
budget_account_detail as ptfl_budget_account_detail, budget_account_master
where journal_entry_master.organization_serial = 16
and journal_entry_master.date_effective >= '2008-01-01'
and journal_entry_master.date_effective < '2009-03-31'
and journal_entry_type.journal_entry_type_serial =
journal_entry_master.journal_entry_type_serial
and
payment_to_fee_link_budget_account_detail_link.journal_entry_master_serial =
journal_entry_master.journal_entry_master_serial
and payment_to_fee_link_budget_account_detail_link.date_effective >=
'2008-01-01'
and payment_to_fee_link_budget_account_detail_link.date_effective <
'2009-03-31'
and payment_to_fee_link_event.payment_to_fee_link_event_serial =
payment_to_fee_link_budget_account_detail_link.payment_to_fee_link_event_serial
and payment_to_fee_link.payment_to_fee_link_serial =
payment_to_fee_link_event.payment_to_fee_link_serial
and transaction_event.transaction_event_serial =
payment_to_fee_link_event.transaction_event_serial

and transactions.transactions_serial = fees.transactions_serial
and person.person_serial = transactions.person_serial
and receipt_master.receipt_serial = transaction_event.receipt_serial
and fees_event.fees_serial = payment_to_fee_link.fees_serial
and ( fees_event.transaction_event_description_serial = 13 or
fees_event.transaction_event_description_serial = 2 )
and fees_budget_account_detail_link.fees_event_serial =
fees_event.fees_event_serial
and budget_account_detail.budget_account_detail_serial =

Subject: Re: Select query locks tables in Innodb
I don't think it locks the tables. The behavior may be similar, but I
seriously doubt that's what's happening. Take a snapshot of SHOW
INNODB STATUS while this is going on. And use mysqladmin debug and
check the error log. Then put those in some pastebin and send us the
link. And realize that you've only given us bits and snippets of
information about this -- you still haven't given us SHOW CREATE TABLE
or even shown us the query that's running. There's not a lot I can do
to really help you with this other than assume that you are wrong :)
Your version is definitely affected by that bug, which I can't find --
I am using the wrong search terms and can't find the right ones to
find the bug.
5.0.37 is a very buggy version and I would upgrade regardless if I
were you, to the latest 5.0 release. You might be surprised at how
much that changes things.

Baron,
I am using 5.0.37.
While it may be true that there is a bug that shows tables as being locked
when they really aren't, I do not think that applies here. I do know that
when a table shows a status of 'Locked' in the Navicat Server Monitor that
the transaction which created and is processing the query comes to a
complete stop until the report query (the one I am trying to straighten
out
or understand) is finished. For example, the report query is reading from
several files, e.g., receipt_master, if a user tries to check out (which
requires an insert into the receipt_master table), they are stopped until
the report query finishes and query on that table shows in Navicat as
waiting for lock ('Locked'.)
Since the report query is only reading data, I am puzzled why it locks the
tables. Any ideas?
TIA,
Carl

Carl,
Locked status in SHOW PROCESSLIST and a table being locked are
different. There is a bug in MySQL that shows Locked status for
queries accessing InnoDB tables in some cases. What version of MySQL
are you using?
The table is not really locked, you're just seeing that as a side
effect of whatever's really happening.

I did check that all tables are Innodb.
I was using the Navicat Server Monitor because I know that when I see
the
monitor reporting a status of locked during an attempted query, that
user
comes to a complete halt until the lock is cleared (usually by the bad
query
finishing.)
