对于异常：
ERROR 1205 (HY000): Lock wait timeoutexceeded; try restarting transaction
解决是一件麻烦的事情。 特别是当一个SQL执行完了，但未COMMIT，后面的SQL想要执行就是被锁，超时结束； DBA光从数据库无法着手找出源头是哪个SQL锁住了； 有时候看看show engine innodb status; , 并结合 show full processlist;能暂时解决问题；但一直不能精确定位； 在5.5中，information_schema库中增加了三个关于锁的表（MEMORY引擎）； innodb_trx ## 当前运行的所有事务 innodb_locks ## 当前出现的锁 innodb_lock_waits ## 锁等待的对应关系 注意：如果使用select * from table for update时，上面的参数无法看到锁的情况，只有在show engine innodb status能查到。 另外还可以查看参数：
mysql> show status like 'innodb_row_lock_%';

| Variable_name | Value |

| Innodb_row_lock_current_waits | 2 |
| Innodb_row_lock_time | 334377476 |

| Innodb_row_lock_time_max | 51974 |
| Innodb_row_lock_waits | 6598 |
+-------------------------------+-----------+
解释如下：
Innodb_row_lock_current_waits : 当前等待锁的数量
Innodb_row_lock_time : 系统启动到现在，锁定的总时间长度
Innodb_row_lock_time_avg : 每次平均锁定的时间
Innodb_row_lock_time_max : 最长一次锁定时间
Innodb_row_lock_waits : 系统启动到现在总共锁定的次数

下面我们来动手看看数据吧： 建立测试数据：
use test;
create table tx1
(id int primary key ,
c1 varchar(20),
c2 varchar(30))
engine=innodb default charset = utf8 ;
insert into tx1 values
(1,'aaaa','aaaaa2'),
(2,'bbbb','bbbbb2'),
(3,'cccc','ccccc2');
commit;
产生事务：
Session1：
start transaction;
update tx1 set c1='heyf',c2='heyf' where id =3 ;
产生事务，在innodb_trx就有数据 ；

由于没有产生锁等待，下面两个表没有数据 ；

Empty set (0.00 sec)
