MySQL - Table 'my_table' was not locked with Lock Tables : <p>I try and load tables via MySQL and get the following error?</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>MySQL said: Table 'cms' was not locked with LOCK TABLES</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Why does the table need to be Locked? I haven't seen this before? is there any way to unlock? do you even want to?</p>
