title: MySQL flush tables - Current database or every database?
body: <p>Does the MySQL command :</p>
  
  <pre><code>FLUSH TABLES;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>flush every table in the current database, or every table on the server ?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using MySQL 5.0 - the  <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/flush.html" rel="noreferrer">documentation</a> is unclear, although it does mention that :</p>
  
  <pre><code>FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>will do so for ALL databases.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
