Review Comment:
   Actually  I was thinking more about it, even if we were to make this check 
return only if both are NO_LOCK, it still doesnt address the original concern 
that if one writer does not have NO_LOCK  but the table has NO_LOCK, then that 
writer will not switch to NO_LOCK and has chance to be corrupted by others that 
do.
   
   So I see two options:
   
   - all writers just follow table's NO_LOCK config
   - writer could do a check, if table is set to NO_LOCK but they are not set 
to NO_LOCK, throw an exception and prevent the write.
