Hello Holger,

Good databases do this on their own. What database are we discussing about?

What exactly is "this"? As far as I've understood how databases work, records might need to be locked, no matter if the data comes from a database-internal cache or being refreshed through a true query execution. I can't remember if contention was accelerated by the the tables being of type MyISAM (no row locking, always global table locks) for some reason, or if I could successfully migrate them to the InnoDB backend (allowing finer-grained row-level locks). (MySQL/MyISAM was initially developed and praised for its efficiency with short-lived connections — from e. g. PHP — and quick responses for SELECTs.)

My experience stems from a former employer with MySQL on Linux using PHP for a home-grown ticketing system tracking customer requests for changes and incidents. I wasn't the programmer, but the system administrator being faced with frequent "database is slow, do something" requests.

:wq! PoC
