I am working on Linux (Intel, SuSE 7.2 Pro.) And that's the question: Is it save to set skip_locking to "OFF" in order to make my cron job work (it is executing myisamchk on some tables)? With skip_locking set to "ON" I would have to make sure none is working on my tables (making some calls or using LOCK TABLE). Thanx for any suggestions, Luke --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
