How to lock table with laravel?

In Laravel, you can lock a table using the DB facade to run raw SQL queries.

Here's an example of how you can lock a table in Laravel:

use IlluminateSupportFacadesDB;

// Lock the table
DB::statement('LOCK TABLES your_table_name WRITE');

// Run your update query
DB::table('your_table_name')->where('id', 1)->update(['column_name' => 'value']);

// Unlock the table
DB::statement('UNLOCK TABLES');

Make sure to replace your_table_name with the name of the table you want to lock. By running LOCK TABLES your_table_name WRITE, you are acquiring a write lock on the table, which prevents other connections from reading or writing to the table until you release the lock with UNLOCK TABLES.

Remember to use the UNLOCK TABLES statement when you are done with your update query to release the lock on the table.
