Hi Joseph, > I have been trying to use mysqlimport to load a primarily read only database with data at regular intervals. My problem occurs when my tables are myisam. In this case all access to the database and the tables blocks until mysqlimport completes. The -lock-tables=false parameter does not help. Is this the normal operation? If not how can I still have concurrent read access to the database while mysqlimport is running? >
Correct me if I am wrong, but the write request has privilege. So ANY read request is queued until the write request finishes. Otherwise you would get inconsistent read results. Am I correct assuming that you are appending the imported data to the existing data in the database ?
