There’s nothing built into rails as far as table locks go, so there’s
not much more that you can do than that (apart I suppose from wrapping
things up nicely so that you can’t forget to unlock tables).

Venkat, what are you trying to do exactly? It seems that you’re trying
to
do the
following:

a) lock the table
b) do some db modifications
c) unlock the table

If this is the case, I would recommend reading up on the transaction
support
within RoR. If this doesn’t do the job for you, you may consider
wrapping
these methods in before and after filters respectively at the controller
or
model level.

Good luck,
