+# Database Locking for Concurrent Import Prevention
+
+## Overview
+
+The OpenEMR Code Import CLI tool now includes database locking to prevent concurrent imports of the same vocabulary type, which could otherwise result in data corruption or incomplete imports.
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Database Named Locks
+
+The system uses MySQL's `GET_LOCK()` and `RELEASE_LOCK()` functions to implement named locks:
+
+- **Lock Name Format**: `openemr_vocab_import_{CODE_TYPE}`
+- **Timeout**: 30 seconds (configurable)
+- **Scope**: Per code type (RXNORM, SNOMED, ICD9, ICD10, CQM_VALUESET)
+
+### Lock Behavior
+
+1. **Before Import**: Attempts to acquire a database lock for the specific code type
+2. **Retry Logic**: If lock is held, retries with exponential backoff (configurable)
+3. **During Import**: Holds the lock for the entire duration of the import process
+4. **After Import**: Automatically releases the lock (even if import fails)
+5. **Cleanup**: Destructor ensures locks are released if the process exits unexpectedly
+
+### Concurrent Access Scenarios
+
+| Scenario | Behavior |
+|----------|----------|
+| Same code type (e.g., two RXNORM imports) | Second process retries with exponential backoff (default: 10 attempts over ~8 minutes) |
+| Different code types (e.g., RXNORM + SNOMED) | Both processes run concurrently without interference |
+| Process crash/kill | Lock automatically released by MySQL when connection closes |
+| No-wait mode (`--lock-retry-delay=0`) | Second process fails immediately without waiting |
+
+## Error Messages
+
+### Lock Acquisition Failure (after retries)
+```
+Failed to acquire database lock for RXNORM import after 10 attempts (510 seconds total). Another import may still be in progress.
+```
+
+### No-wait Mode Failure
+```
+Failed to acquire database lock for RXNORM import - another import is in progress and no-wait mode is enabled.
+```
+
+### Database Error
+```
+Database lock acquisition failed for RXNORM import due to a database error.
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Data Integrity**: Prevents table corruption from concurrent DROP/CREATE operations
+2. **Import Consistency**: Ensures complete, atomic imports
+3. **Resource Protection**: Prevents conflicts in temporary directories and tracking tables
+4. **Graceful Degradation**: Clear error messages when conflicts occur
+
+## Technical Implementation
+
+### CodeImporter.php Changes
+
+- Added `$currentLockName` property to track active locks
+- `acquireLock()` method uses `GET_LOCK()` with 30-second timeout
+- `releaseLock()` method uses `RELEASE_LOCK()` with error handling
+- `__destruct()` ensures cleanup on object destruction
+- `import()` method wrapped with try/finally for guaranteed lock release
+
+### Lock Names by Code Type
+
+- RXNORM: `openemr_vocab_import_RXNORM`
+- SNOMED: `openemr_vocab_import_SNOMED`
+- SNOMED_RF2: `openemr_vocab_import_SNOMED_RF2`
+- ICD9: `openemr_vocab_import_ICD9`
+- ICD10: `openemr_vocab_import_ICD10`
+- CQM_VALUESET: `openemr_vocab_import_CQM_VALUESET`
+
+## CLI Configuration Options
+
+### Lock Retry Configuration
+
+- `--lock-retry-attempts=N`: Number of retry attempts (default: 10)
+- `--lock-retry-delay=N`: Initial delay between retries in seconds (default: 30)
+  - Set to 0 for no-wait mode (fail immediately)
+  - Uses exponential backoff with jitter (caps at 5 minutes per attempt)
+
+### Examples
+
+**Default behavior** (10 retries with exponential backoff):
+```bash
+php oce-import-codes import /path/to/rxnorm.zip
+```
+
+**Quick failure mode** (no waiting):
+```bash
+php oce-import-codes import /path/to/rxnorm.zip --lock-retry-delay=0
+```
+
+**Custom retry behavior** (3 attempts, 60-second initial delay):
+```bash
+php oce-import-codes import /path/to/rxnorm.zip --lock-retry-attempts=3 --lock-retry-delay=60
+```
+
+## Testing Concurrent Access
+
+To test the locking mechanism:
+
+1. Start an import process:
+   ```bash
+   php oce-import-codes import /path/to/rxnorm.zip
+   ```
+
+2. While the first is running, start a second import of the same type:
+   ```bash
+   php oce-import-codes import /path/to/another-rxnorm.zip
+   ```
+
+3. The second process should retry for several minutes with exponential backoff, displaying progress messages.
+
+## Monitoring Active Locks
+
+You can check for active import locks in MySQL:
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM performance_schema.metadata_locks
+WHERE OBJECT_NAME LIKE 'openemr_vocab_import_%';
+```
+
+Or check specific locks:
+
+```sql
+SELECT IS_USED_LOCK('openemr_vocab_import_RXNORM') as lock_status;
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Stuck Locks
+If a lock appears stuck (process crashed without cleanup):
+
+```sql
+SELECT RELEASE_LOCK('openemr_vocab_import_RXNORM');
+```
+
+### Lock Timeout Issues
+If 30 seconds isn't enough for your environment, modify the timeout in `CodeImporter.php`:
+
+```php
+$result = sqlQuery("SELECT GET_LOCK(?, 60) as lock_result", [$lockName]); // 60 seconds
+```
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+This change is fully backward compatible:
+- Single imports work exactly as before
+- No changes to command-line interface
+- No additional dependencies required
+- Falls back gracefully if database functions unavailable
