Beno, have you checked the access path MySQL uses:
EXPLAIN SELECT ... WHERE id > ... ? Maybe you should use the methods available in MySQL to force the use of a certain index, namely id? Then the query would only lock relevant rows. See the MySQL online manual at www.mysql.com >This happens now. What I would like is #4 to wait, until thread A >finishes (commits OR rolls back). "id" is a key, buy not a unique key, >since there can be several rows of the same value there. If it were a >unique key, my wish would come true. :) >If, instead of "lock in share mode", I try "for update", then it works, >but not how I'd like it. Then #4 will wait, but it will wait even if the >query is "select * from teszt where id > 15 for update". >So it's basically like locking the entire table, and I cannot work with >other data.It WORKS this way, I was just trying to speed it up.
