Hello.

As I've said before, the Delphi application works with DB2 on an
AS400. The idea is to try to emulate as much as I can the DB2 portion
with Firebird, so future releases of the application only need
recompiling against different libraries to work with DB2 or Firebird.
The original application has a stored procedure that reads a record
and locks it. Then this record is procesed by the application and the
results of the process are saved again in the record using another
stored procedure, unlocking the record. It's important that no other
user reads the record and begins processing it until the first user
ends his work.
I want to emulate this behaviour without writing Delphi code, simply
writing an equivalent stored procedure, to get the same code working
with DB2 and Firebird.
