CODE
cursor.executemany
. In the beginning I was always getting the mysql error
QUOTE
lock time exceeded try to restart the transaction
...I managed to resolve this issue - partially it was coming from IDLE editor and the open python shell - seems they were not unlocking the tables while open - so in order for my code to run I use to run it from the shell ... The next step to handle this was to lock the table before every insert - despite that each thread is using its own mysql connection ...
At this stage the error still occurs - and this results in loss of data and CPU usage....
Any exerience related to python and mysqldb and executemany and threading will be greatly appreciated!
