Locking is automatic for single statements. If you need to keep other
clients from interfering with a table or tables over the course of
several statements, you should surround the statements with LOCK TABLES
and UNLOCK TABLES statements. See chapter 7 of the manual for information
on how to lock and unlock tables.
