I have merged the request by creoline into this existing one. Actually, adding a parameter like --single-transaction requires careful consideration of many side effects that this can have. It is explained well in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41683158/mysqldump-single-transaction-option and comments. But like IG I also think it is a valid request.
We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.
Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

Exporting a database or copying a database locks it and makes the site unusable.
This is very important to be configurable

Actually, all database backups are exported with a "LOCK TABLES" operation which seems to be outdated for InnoDB.
I would suggest allowing users to choose the locking strategy on exporting database dumps in the Plesk GUI.
There should be options like:
- Single Transaction (Not supported for MyISAM)
- Lock TablesThe export button is very useless for InnoDB users with traffic on their websites because a global READ lock applied also if no MyISAM tables are available.
