This may be sensible if the application never waits for any input. Some sort of bulk-update application, for example, or an overnight batch run. But if the application pauses for input, aren't you giving a user power over the database ? They could just start up the application then leave it in the background while they browse the web. Anyway, you do it the way we've already discussed. Use BEGIN EXCLUSIVE.
