Trovato un articolo intitolato "MYSQL CON NOLOCK"
https:/ /web.archive.org/web/20100814144042/http://sqldba.org/articles/22-mysql-with-nolock.aspx
in MS SQL Server dovresti fare quanto segue:
SELECT * FROM TABLE_NAME WITH (nolock)
e l'equivalente MySQL è
SET SESSION TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED ;
SELECT * FROM TABLE_NAME ;
SET SESSION TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL REPEATABLE READ ;
MODIFICA
Michael Mior suggerito quanto segue (dai commenti)
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED ;
SELECT * FROM TABLE_NAME ;
COMMIT ;
