Hi all, I'm running Mysql server. I need to know if is possible to generate an alert (email) when in the database are locked tables.
Is that possible?
Thanks a lot.
I don't know if there exists a function within MySQL that can give you that output but you might include some function for it in your script.
If a table is not locked then your script should do nothing, right?
Say that you detect a table as locked using the show open tables command. You could save the status in a variable and enter in a loop that checks like every ten seconds (or whatever interval you want).
When the counter (number of checks x ten seconds for example) reaches 30 (5 minutes) send a mail that the table has been locked for ten minutes.
Most likely other users with more MySQL experience can put in something more useful but this is how I would do it for starters meanwhile looking for another solution.
