Hi.

I need to be able to LOCK TABLE and unlock this table from a trigger. Problem is, the only way I have found to unlock a "LOCK" is to COMMIT. However, COMMITs are not allowed in triggers.

Any suggestions?

(the reason I use LOCK TABLE is that the trigger updates a table, and once in a while a UNIX cron job LOCKs the update table, exports the data and deletes all the data in the table. Using LOCK TAbLE in EXCLUSIVE MODE avoids concurrency problems).

Any help appreciated!
