Determines whether to add LOCK TABLES ... WRITE clause before data loading.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

public bool Lock {get; set;}

'Declaration
 
Public Property Lock As Boolean

Property Value

true, if LOCK TABLES ... WRITE clause should be added before data loading; otherwise, false. The default value is false.

Remarks

Using this option to prevent other users from modifying the table while you load the data in it. MySQL does not allow to use both Delayed and Lock options at the same time.

The table remains locked untill you call Close method, or lock another table, or close the thread that issued LOCK operation.

Note that when you have locked a table, you can not access any other table from the same thread.

Example

The following example creates a MySqlLoader, then populates Columns collection from table description, loads data, flushes the buffer and disposes internal MySqlLoader structures. The MySqlLoader requires an open connection.

csharp

public void LoadData(MySqlConnection myConnection)
{
  myConnection.Open();
  myConnection.Database = "Test";
  MySqlLoader loader = new MySqlLoader();
  loader.Connection = myConnection;
  loader.TableName = "load_table";
  loader.Lock = true;
  try
  {
    loader.CreateColumns();
    loader.Open();
    for (int i = 1; i <= 10000; i++)
    {
      loader.SetValue("id", i);
      loader.SetValue("char_field", "test string");
      loader.SetValue("date_field", DateTime.Now);
      loader.NextRow();
    }
    loader.Close();
  }
  finally
  {
    myConnection.Close();
  }
}

Visual Basic

Public Sub LoadData(ByVal myConnection As MySqlConnection)
  myConnection.Open()
  myConnection.Database = "Test"
  Dim loader As MySqlLoader
  loader = New MySqlLoader
  loader.Connection = myConnection
  loader.TableName = "load_table"
  loader.Lock = True
  Try
    loader.CreateColumns()
    loader.Open()
    Dim i As Integer
    For i = 1 To 10000
      loader.SetValue("id", i)
      loader.SetValue("char_field", "test string")
      loader.SetValue("date_field", DateTime.Now)
      loader.NextRow()
    Next i
    loader.Close()
  Finally
    myConnection.Close()
  End Try
End Sub
