User Defined Locks

===================
3
 
 
4
 
A user can create a "lock" which is scoped to their user space. Multiple
5
 
session of the user can see the lock.
6

SELECT GET_LOCK();
8
 
 
9
 
SELECT GET_LOCKS();
10
 
 
11
 
SELECT RELEASE_LOCK();
12
 
 
13
 
SELECT RELEASE_LOCK();
14
 
 
15
 
SELECT RELEASE_LOCKS();
16
 
 
17
 
SELECT is_free_lock();
18
 
 
19
 
SELECT is_used_lock();
20
 
 
21
 
SELECT wait_for_lock();
22
 
 
23
 
SELECT release_lock_and_wait();
24
 
 
25
 
If a session should exit, whatever locks it was holding will be deleted.
26
 
 
27
 
Please note, get_lock() was designed to be compatible with MySQL. If you
28
 
hold any locks when calling get_lock() they will be released. For this
29
 
reason you may want to consider calling get_locks() instead.
30
 
 
31
 
release_lock_and_wait() released the named lock, and then waits for another
32
 
session to try to obtain ownership. If it does not own the lock, it returns
33
 
with a zero.

Information on all barriers can be found in the DATA_DICTIONARY.USER_LOCKS
