{select | insert | update | delete} … from table_name readpast …
{readtext | writetext table_name.column_name … readpast …
For data only locking tables, specifying readpast for a table will cause the query not to be blocked by incompatible locks on that table. Instead, these locks will be skipped, so that the query can continue. Any rows that are skipped, are not processed by the query.
