MySQL - Table 'my_table' was not locked with Lock Tables

Question

I try and load tables via MySQL and get the following error?

MySQL said: Table \'cms\' was not locked with LOCK TABLES

Why does

Answer 1

If in one session, you locked one table but want to select from another table, you must either lock that table too or unlock all tables.

mysql> LOCK TABLES t1 READ;
mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1;
+----------+
| COUNT(*) |
+----------+
|        3 |
+----------+
mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t2;
ERROR 1100 (HY000): Table 't2' was not locked with LOCK TABLES
