MyISAM

Lock Tables

On myisam tables, if you are having issues with too many locked tables (show processlist), you can do the following to improve reading from uncommitted inserts:

 show variables like 'tx%'; and you see 'REPEATABLE-READ'
 set global transaction isolation level read uncommitted;

This improves reading but it assumes that your application will not be using the data from another part concurrently.
