What happens to a or update command on a mysql locked table?

I pretty much have my code, what I want to do is make sure is that I can rely on the results to be universal.



Script A



lock tables mytable write;
...do some reading....
...do some writing....
unlock tables;


Script B



lock tables mytable write;
...do some writing....
unlock tables;


The above works, and whichever table does not have the lock simply hangs until the other releases the lock.



I am totally fine with this outcome/behavior. I just want to make sure that I'll always get a hang, and not some sort of error, or even a time-out error.



Hope this question makes sense.



thanks

  • to avoid timeout error, you can increase the value of wait_timeout variable. Refer: dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/…

  • Also, it is always good to enable mysqli_error_reporting (if using php/mysqli), and use try .. catch block to catch any sort of error, and eventually tune the system variables to handle them in future. Personally, it is hard to predict what all errors might appear. You will handle them as you encounter them, as long as you have proper error reporting/logging mechanism
