In the documentation it says (http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/LOCK_TABLES.html): All tables that are locked by the current thread are automatically unlocked when the thread issues another LOCK TABLES, or when the connection to the server is closed. So you have to lock the two tables in the same SQL statement. [snip] > i have also tried locking the tables with: > > "lock tables jobs mechanics read" Look at the syntax for locking more than one table -- it uses commas: LOCK TABLES jobs READ, mechanics READ The way you're doing it, you seem to be locking 'jobs' with an alias of 'mechanics'. -- Keith C.
