Of course, while updating stuff on certain tables I want to do some things to prevent lost updates, dirty reads > and stuff like that. Would pretty much spoil the game for my dear users.

Of course I can request locks on other tables too. In fact I > did, as a workaround. But can anybody explain me why I cannot do anything (just found out I can't even do 'describe <TABLENAME>' anymore when there's > one table locked) else with any other table? > > Thanks, > Wouter > > > > -- > MySQL General Mailing List > For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql > To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] > mvh Kim G.
