title: mysqldump locking tables despite --skip-lock-tables & --single-transaction options set
body: <p>I'm trying to generate a dump of a database comprised of innodb tables.</p>
  
  <p>Having dutifully read the <code>mysqldump</code> section of the relevant (5.6) manual, I used the <code>--skip-lock-tables</code> and <code>--single-transaction</code> options. When I look at the resulting dump file I see <code>"LOCK TABLES"</code> &amp; <code>"UNLOCK TABLES"</code> around the <code>INSERT</code> statements for each table in the database. </p>
  
  <p><code>--single-transaction</code> on its own produces the same result. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have an idea as to why <code>mysqldump</code> is seemingly ignoring these options? </p>
  
  <p>I take it that the <code>LOCK TABLES</code> &amp; <code>UNLOCK TABLES</code> should not be appearing with one or both of these options.</p>
