The point I am trying to say is about below part of statement in
Context message:
"while attempting to lock tuple (0,2) ".
In above situation, we are actually trying to acquire a lock on transaction to
operate on a tuple, so I think it will be better to rephrase it (may be by using
'operate on' instead of 'lock').
