I need to setup a system for advisory locking within mysql. (Local client locking is not sufficient as clients are on multiple machines). The documentation mentions the GET_LOCK call which sounds perfect, except that the previous lock is released when GET_LOCK is called again (i.e, a thread can only obtain one lock at a time). Does anyone know if this can be extended (parameterised)? Alternatively, has anyone setup an alternative advisiory locking system withing mysql? Many regards, Ian Collins.
