      abstract = {Know how locks work in MySQL and how they relate to  transactions. This book explains the major role that locks  play in database systems, showing how locks are essential  in allowing high-concurrency workloads. You will learn  about lock access levels and lock granularities from the  user level as well as table locks to record and gap locks.  Most importantly, the book covers troubleshooting  techniques when locking becomes a pain point. Several of  the lock types in MySQL have a duration of a transaction.  For this reason, it is important to understand how  transactions work. This book covers the basics of  transactions as well as transaction isolation levels and  how they affect locking. The book is meant to be your go-to  resource for solving locking contention and similar  problems in high-performance MySQL database applications.  Detecting locking issues when they occur is the first key  to resolving such issues. MySQL Concurrency provides  techniques for detecting locking issues such as contention.  The book shows how to analyze locks that are causing  contention to see why those locks are in place. A  collection of six comprehensive case studies combine  locking and transactional theory with realistic lock  conflicts. The case studies walk you through the symptoms  to look for in order to identify which issue you are  facing, the cause of the conflict, its analysis, solution,  and how to prevent the issue in the future. You will:  Understand which lock types exist in MySQL and how they are  used Choose the best transaction isolation level for a  given transaction Detect and analyze lock contention when  it occurs Reduce locking issues in your applications  Resolve deadlocks between transactions Resolve InnoDB  record-level locking issues Resolve issues from metadata  and schema locks.},
