I have a small curiosity about MySQL table locks.
Say I want to lock two tables. I execute this command:
LOCK TABLES table1 WRITE, table2 WRITE
And then I checked if the tables have indeed been locked by executing:
SHOW OPEN TABLES IN mydatabase WHERE In_use > 0
I have noticed tho that if I run two lock commands sequentitally for example:
LOCK TABLES table1 WRITE
LOCK TABLES table2 WRITE
And then check which tables are locked using the same command only table2 is marked as locked. Why is this so?
Thanks
