No answer directly to your question, but another idea.
What do you want to do, have a unique (the next) number for the next insert?
Why don't you use sequences resp. DEFAULT SERIAL resp. the datatype SERIAL
as described here
http://www.sapdb.org/7.4/how_tos/numbergen/howto_producenumgen_eng.htm
and discussed in this list several times.

Maybe this could solve the problem you want to handle with your lock/select/unlock-
sequence ...
