The concept get's really interesting in high-volume,
transaction-oriented environments.

Yup, sure does. :-) But it's just a variation on a problem that exists
in RPG land too. Say you read the item master row in RPG (and don't lock
it). Now you show the user the screen and let them play with the item.
Now you go to update that item, what if someone has changed the row. In
essence you were working on a "cached" copy of the item, now it's out of
sync w/the real copy. There are solutions to it, but it's something to
be aware of.
