Hi Tom,
... you forgot to put the locking purpose: "write or read":
Ex:
"lock mytables write;"

Subject: Error Locking Tables
> Hello,
>
> I am using MySQL 3.23.47 under Windows 98 (mysql-opt) and I am having a
strange problem. I issued the "LOCK TABLES <table_name>;" command at the
command prompt and I got the following error:
>
> "ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '' at line 1"
>
> The syntax looks correct to me as per the online documentation. Am I
doing something wrong or must a parameter be set to facilitate locking
tables?
>
> Thanks in advance for your help,
> Tom
