I tested it with seven instances in a test where I commitretaining() manually to
watch the reactions of the other instances which were in loop waiting their turn. Each
one fired as a commitretaining was executed and they gained access.

Remember, the new record is added with the unique Id in an SP. The record is
commited as soon as the sp returns so the lock is very short.

Best regards
