I was wondering, are there any plans to implement explicit table
locking as is in PostgreSQL:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/explicit-locking.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/sql-lock.html

This topic was more or less previously discussed in firebird-java, and
we got to the conclusion that setting the transaction isolation level
is a possible solution, but explicit locking seems more appropriate
and flexible (from a java programmer's point of view)
