Description: Lock A row with the option NoWait
Details:

Hello,
I would like to know how to make a lock on a row with the instruction
NoWait. Because it is not possible with "Select .... For Update" which
don't
allow NoWait Behind !
Also if it is not possible to do this thing, could it be develloped in a
next version ?

thank you,

Mathias Laurent
