Hi Andy,
The best way to accomplish this is at an application level, setup a
lock table and put your locks in there. There are many methods for
handling application locks. Choose one that work for you. With a
database level lock, when the connection terminates the lock is
released.
Persistant connections might be an option, but you can't guarantee
your CGI will get the same connection and be able to release the lock!
Hope this helps,
Ken
