Re: MySQL 8.0 Command Line Client Error 1205

[J C]

Side Note: Lol, I am not a newb to MySQL (rather, an amateur at the Command Line as I even had trouble finding it when it was pre-installed with a Community Package), but I do not know where else to post this as this is somewhat of a miscellaneous issue.

MySQL 8.0 Command Line Client is giving me a timeout error and I have restarting the transaction by typing "start transaction" another time. Keep in mind that I have another command line open with the table CIA_DATA.new_table and it is also being updated with the same changes. (I am doing this to follow a tutorial.) Here is the script:

mysql> start transaction;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> update CIA_DATA.new_table set c1 = 2 where c1 = 1;
ERROR 1205 (HY000): Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction

Thanks,
J C

P.S.: Feel free to send this to another forum section if this is not the right one, moderators. I just want to fix this issue.
