I have a perl script which fork()'s many children and each child is updating a table, and each child is inserting/updating DIFFERENT rows - I split up the work so that no two children try to update the same row so that no child has to wait for any locks to be released. The problem is, I am getting lock wait timeout's still, its not consistant - sometimes it happens sometimes it does not. It might be due to next key locking. Anyhow, has anyone tried to do something similar before ? How can I have all the children update/insert without running into lock problems.
I am using the latest production version of MySQL and all the tables are InnoDB.
Any input is welcome. thank you.
