Hi,

I'm using mysqldump to backup my databases.  Does anyone know if mysqldump
locks all the tables in the database prior to performing the dump?

I ask this because if an update is in progress which inserts/modifies
records in several tables, performing a mysqldump could backup the database
in an inconsistent state (partial transaction).

Thanks,
Don
