Hi,

Some of my models use optimistic locking, but it doesn’t change the  
SQL delete command. What I get is just:  
DELETE FROM `things` WHERE `id` = 62

Can I do anything so that the lock version also appears in this query  
(which would make it play nice with optimistic locking)?

Thanks,  
Helzer
