Re: Is it best practice to lock table for every Mysql query?

MySQL uses pretty much the same table-locking method for both READ and WRITE locks:

If there are no locks on the table, put a read/write lock on it.
Otherwise, put the lock request in the read/write lock queue.
When a lock is released, the lock is first made available to other processes in the write lock queue, then to the threads in the read lock queue. So if you have many updates for a table, SELECT statements will wait until there are no more updates.
