If so, solutions include: Doing the updates a few rows at a time, so the table is only locked for a few seconds every minute over the course of a day. Altering the underlying table type in MySQL from MyISAM to, err, some table format that supports row-locking??? [I could be way off base and ISAM already does that...] It's also entirely possible he's only anticipating a problem that isn't a problem.
