    If i will lock my tables while taking
    dump of production and at the same
    time if user will enter any data for
    specific table. What will happen to
    that specific insertion ? Will it be
    discarded or it will be inserted after
    successful creation of dump ?

    The insertion will be delayed until the dump is finished and then will be executed.

    If i will not lock my tables while
    taking dump of production. Will it
    create any problem ?

    Depends on your data structure. Just keep in mind, that if you are inserting two rows into database, that are connected with each other in some way without locking tables or using transaction, your dump may end up with having only one it in.

    Which one is preferred way to taking
    dump of production with or without
    locking tables ?

    If your tables are all InnoDB it is preferred that you dump in transaction. If you use MyISAM tables… then lock tables. Also please look at the direction of XtraBackup.
