I have a customer that has godaddy's shared hosting plan. I am planning on using Drupal for his project. I asked godaddy if drupal would work with their plan. This was there response:

"Thank you for contacting Online Support. You can use drupal on our shared hosting plans, however, drupal will need the MySQL Lock command. Because this is not available you will have to use a work around. , to view work around for the MySQL Lock command."

I searched the forum but could not find anyone with the same situation. What would I need to do to make this work?

Thanks for any any help you provide.

The only proper workaround is to switch to another hosting provider or upgrade to a hosting plan with this lock permission.

Okay. I'll check with godaddy to see if they have another plan. I sort of doubt it because they probably would have mentioned that.

I use the Godaddy Basic Plan for my Drupal Testing Area; and it works just fine.

Agreed - I use GoDaddy and have had no problems with my Drupal installation. My 2 complaints are that their MySQL version is old (note what sql file you load), and their installation of phpMyAdmin sometimes hangs on large SQL loads.
