+#### MySQLMutex
+
+The **MySQLMutex** uses MySQL's 
+[`GET_LOCK`](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/miscellaneous-functions.html#function_get-lock)
+function to create lock back end.
+
+It supports time outs. If the connection to the database server is lost or interrupted, the lock is 
+automatically released. 
+
+Note that before MySQL 5.7.5 you cannot use nested locks, any new lock will silently release already
+held locks. You should probably refrain from using this mutex on MySQL versions < 5.7.5.

+```php
+$pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test", "username");
+
+$mutex = new MySQLMutex($pdo, "balance", 15);
+$mutex->synchronized(function () use ($bankAccount, $amount) {
+    $balance = $bankAccount->getBalance();
+    $balance -= $amount;
+    if ($balance < 0) {
+        throw new \DomainException("You have no credit.");
+
+    }
+    $bankAccount->setBalance($balance);
+});
