However, I just checked the documentation, and he *is* right after all: MySQL claims to be deadlock-free for table-locking engines, they simply lock all tables at once (I suppose that means any lock statement will invalidate the previous one) and always lock tables in the same order. -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel
