It's okay. But they won't be doing it "at the same time" - MySQL will
lock the tables implicitly for reading/writing when a client is
selecting/inserting,updating,deleting. So you don't program for it,
it's handled automatically.
If you need multiple actions on a table to be atomic, you can use LOCK
TABLES to explicitly do those locks. You can avoid that need often by
doing incremental updates (e.g., SET foo=foo+1) and using auto_increment
keys w/ the LAST_ID() function.
