Mysql table locking error

@Kutyus
Probably show your code so we can see (including where "unlock tables" gives a false result but no lastError() information). Also read through e.g. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/lock-tables.html#table-lock-release to make sure you are complying with unlock requirements/behaviour.

If I run a QSqlQuery::clear() before the "unlock tables", it is working, but I do not know why?

@Kutyus
This is purely a guess.

While you have some existing SQL query around/open which has a LOCK TABLES or is in a transaction with such, locks can't be released? You need to finish reading/close/terminate/clear the query to release the result set/previous query so that unlocking can proceed?

@JonB
Yes that is how it works.

If I comment out the query between lock and unlock, it works that way.

Hi,

Can you show the code your using ?

LOCK TABLES

Why do you need it at all?

It's not me, it's the OP!

The "lock table tablename" is fine, but executing the "unlock tables" gives a false result and the database is stayed in locked state.

I believe the OP is using LOCK/UNLOCK TABLES. Whether that is a good idea is another matter :) Perhaps they will explain.

I derived QSqlQuery and there is an error when I call prepare (), but the factory QSqlQuery also produces an error when prepare () is called but clear () is not.

QSqlQuery query = QSqlQuery(db);

query.prepare(QString("lock table categories write"));
query.exec();

query.prepare(QString("update categories set name = '%1' where id = %2").arg(name.text()).arg(id));
query.exec();

query.clear();
query.prepare(QString("unlock tables"));
query.exec();

You should check the outcome of each of your queries and print the error if any occurs. That should give you more insight about what is going on.

query.prepare(QString("lock table categories write"));

You're supposed to take the time to read the documentation (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/lock-tables.html) of your database backend before asking for Qt help here. There is no lock table statement.

I found a solution, the lock table and the unlock tables statements cannot be prepared, I received the following message:
"This command is not supported in the prepared statement protocol yet QMYSQL3: Unable to prepare statement"
