The *developers* actually said this? That's scary, all by
itself. After all, the reason I'm using a database in the first place
is so I don't have to rely on the application developers getting the
data locking right. Rollback and the like are nice, but if the
database can't insure my datas integrity in the face of simultaneous
updates, then I've chosen the wrong tool for the job.
