First of all, I think we should be careful about adding features to DB
that are not portable by concept. Table locking is not. AFAIK MySQL is
the only DBMS that actually implements locking as such, others have
similar functionality through transactions. Anyway, you don't need
table locking for this. I've implemented a suggestion in CVS.
By the way, when you work on code that other people have written and has
an interest in still maintaining, the rule "if it works, don't fix it"
applies more than ever. This certainly goes for indentation as well.
Just changing everything like you did is rude, and I want to ask that
you please refrain from doing changes like that in the future without
even discussing it on the list first. All you accomplish is to piss
someone off.
