innodb的记录锁介绍原文见 http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/innodb-record-level-locks.html
innodb的记录锁有三种类型：
- 记录锁：是加在索引记录上的。
- 间隙锁：对索引记录间的范围加锁，或者加在最后一个索引记录的前面或者后面
- Next-key锁：记录锁和间隙锁的组合，间隙锁锁定记录锁之前的范围
间隙锁主要是防止幻象读，用在Repeated-Read（简称RR）隔离级别下。在Read-Commited（简称RC）下，一般没有间隙锁（有外键情况下例外，此处不考虑）。间隙锁还用于statement
based replication
间隙锁有些副作用，如果要关闭，一是将会话隔离级别改到RC下，或者开启
innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog（默认是OFF）。
间隙锁只会出现在辅助索引上，唯一索引和主键索引是没有间隙锁。间隙锁（无论是S还是X）只会阻塞insert操作。
下面演示一种因为间隙锁而出现等待的情形。
准备脚本
CREATE TABLE `xdual` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`x`
timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
`v` int(11) DEFAULT
NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `idx_x` (`x`),
KEY `idx_v`
(`v`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=70 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
root@localhost : test 09:39:47> select
* from xdual;

Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
root@localhost : test 09:47:08> insert

（BLOCKING）
此时用innotop查看锁分布

很快会话2就timeout

分析：
#sess1: delete from xdual where v=8;
这个sql锁定的范围是
(7,18)。此时，#sess2如果想插入一笔v=8的数据，肯定被blocking，但是插入一笔v=7的数据，就要看插入记录的位置是否在这个区间(7,18)以内。
root@localhost : test 10:06:35> select *
from xdual where v=7;

3 rows in
set (0.00 sec)
insert into xdual values(11,now(),7); 要插入的位置在
id=16和id=26之间，不在上面那个区间内，所以不被blocking
insert into xdual values(31,now(),7);
这个就在被锁定的区间内，所以被阻塞。
同理，#sess2 下面的sql也会被阻塞

into xdual(x,v) values(now(),9);
