Two comments: firstly, "edification" means "praise." I think you
meant to use the word "clarification."
Secondly, tables are created by default with page-mode locking
wherein a complete page is locked rather than an individual row.
If this is the case (use the -ss option of dbschema, for example),
then change it to row locking instead.
