Detecting locked tables (locked by LOCK TABLE)

问题

Is there a way to detect locked tables in MySQL? I mean tables locked by the LOCK TABLE table WRITE/READ command.

_{(Note that readers interested in detecting named locks acquired with GET_LOCK should read Show all current locks from get_lock instead.)}

回答1:

SHOW OPEN TABLES to show each table status and its lock.

For named locks look Show all current locks from get_lock

回答2:

Use SHOW OPEN TABLES: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/show-open-tables.html

You can do something like this

SHOW OPEN TABLES WHERE `Table` LIKE '%[TABLE_NAME]%' AND `Database` LIKE '[DBNAME]' AND In_use > 0;

to check any locked tables in a database.

回答3:

You can use SHOW OPEN TABLES to show each table's lock status. More details on the command's doc page are here.

回答4:

The simplest way is :

SHOW OPEN TABLES WHERE In_use > 0

You get the locked tables only of the current database.

回答5:

You can create your own lock with GET_LOCK(lockName,timeOut)

If you do a GET_LOCK(lockName, 0) with a 0 time out before you lock the tables and then follow that with a RELEASE_LOCK(lockName) then all other threads performing a GET_LOCK() will get a value of 0 which will tell them that the lock is being held by another thread.

However this won't work if you don't have all threads calling GET_LOCK() before locking tables. The documentation for locking tables is here

Hope that helps!

This article describes how to get information about locked MySQL resources. mysqladmin debug might also be of some use.

回答7:

You could also get all relevant details from performance_schema:

SELECT
OBJECT_SCHEMA
,OBJECT_NAME
,GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT EXTERNAL_LOCK)
FROM performance_schema.table_handles 
WHERE EXTERNAL_LOCK IS NOT NULL

GROUP BY
OBJECT_SCHEMA
,OBJECT_NAME

This works similar as

show open tables WHERE In_use > 0

Mini walkthrough on how to detect locked tables:

This may prevent the database from enforcing atomicity in the affected tables and rows. The locks were designed to make sure things stay consistent and this procedure will prevent that process from taking place as designed.

Create your table, insert some rows

create table penguins(spam int, ham int);
insert into penguins(spam, ham) values (3, 4);

show open tables:

show open tables like "penguins"

prints:

your_database penguins    0   0

Penguins isn't locked, lets lock it:

LOCK TABLES penguins READ;

Check if it's locked:

show open tables like "penguins"

Prints:

your_database, penguins 1, 0

Aha! It is locked! Lets unlock it:

unlock tables

Now it is unlocked:

show open tables like "penguins"

Prints:

your_database penguins    0   0

show all current locks

show open tables where in_use <> 0

It would be much more helpful if the MySQL developers put this information in a regular table (so I can do a select my_items from my_table where my_clauses), rather than this stripped down 'show table' syntax from system variables.
