how can i lock tables in MySQL or phpmyadmin?
I need to use a table for a queuing system. The table will be constantly be updated. 

For example, multiple users on my website, will add their files for process, and I heard that when updates occur simultaneously from multiple users, the table becomes non responsive or something like that.

so do I need locking tables in this situation ? how do i apply a lock to a mysql table ?
