Scenario:
session1: REPLACE .... 1 session2: REPLACE ..... 1
session1: check to see that "1" exists .... no session2: check to see that "1" exists .... no
session1: INSERT 1 session2: INSERT 1 .... ERROR
Get the picture? The only way to avoid a race condition is to be able to
do "predicate locking", that is to lock the table against any data write
matching that predicate.
