Проблема с блокировкой таблицы LOCKTABLE

[Fordewind]

Хелп говорит:
Because all write operations automatically lock the table in use, LOCKTABLE would appear unnecessary. However, you could have a transaction in which an application wants to inspect data and then only possibly change it, with a guarantee that the data being changed has not been modified by other applications since the read operation. The solution is to explicitly lock the table before the read operation. This ensures that no other application makes changes between the read operation and the possible write operation.
