Could you please be so kind and try to create an example script that
reproduces the problem? Additionally I´d need the table structure
you are using and sample data.

The Perl part of DBD::mysql does no locking at all, unless you
explicitly
use "LOCK TABLES".

DBD:: mysql supports using placeholders for the table name very well.
(Placeholders are a simple text replacement.) However, you'd better
not use this feature: Monty has announced that he will support place-
holders at the C level in the future and things might change.
