MySQL 8.0 Source Code Documentation
To implement a large-scale, busy, or highly reliable database
application, to port substantial code from a different database
system, or to tune MySQL performance, it is important to understand
InnoDB locking and the InnoDB
transaction model.
This section discusses several topics related to
InnoDB locking and the InnoDB
transaction model with which you should be familiar.
Section 17.7.1, “InnoDB Locking” describes lock types used by
InnoDB.Section 17.7.2, “InnoDB Transaction Model” describes transaction isolation levels and the locking strategies used by each. It also discusses the use of

InnoDBfor various statements.Section 17.7.4, “Phantom Rows” describes how
InnoDBuses next-key locking to avoid phantom rows.Section 17.7.5, “Deadlocks in InnoDB” provides a deadlock example, discusses deadlock detection, and provides tips for minimizing and handling deadlocks in
