MySQL frig-up


I suffered an error that crashed my browser while I was writing to the database on a php/MySQL-driven message board (Not the same as LQ.org is using, but one written by a high-school student in Québec), and now the board doesn't work anymore.

In phpMyAdmin, the "posts" table is listed as "in use"...I'm assuming that I aquired a lock on the db for writing, and then the browser crashed before the lock could be released

Does anybody know how to force that lock to be released? I can't use the db again until it is.

(If it's relevant, I'm using whatever version of MySQL came with Red Hat 8)

Why not just restart mysql, will that not work? If you are using redhat should be as easy as 'mysqld restart'
