I agree, 100%. We live in a mixed environment of UNIX and Windows and as such, we've assumed case insensitivity in our apps. I know that this is bad practice, but forcing this flag on us is and even worse practice. This should always, always be an option. I wont be able to upgrade until this is

Re: Locks dont lock

Kim, I use WRITE locks extensively with MySQL 4 with a large distributed application. Your example logs indicate that your test application obtained a READ lock, which will not block other select requests from accessing the table. Only a WRITE lock will cause subsequent select requests to be

Lemasson, When you refer to a column as a primary key, I tend to think that this key will be your main relationship point to the data in your table. Now, when you combine the primary key concept with a BLOB (binary large object), it seems to me that you are almost defeating the purpose of a
