According to the MySQL manual:
For large tables, table locking is often better than row locking,
Why is this? I would presume that row-level locking is better because when you lock on a larger table, you’re locking more data.
from the (pre-edit) link
use a row level lock if you are only hitting a row or two. If your code hits many or unknown rows, stick with table lock.
