That doesn't really have anything to do with knowing or not knowing SQL, it's just something that bothers you about SQL.
And it is an implementation issue.
It would be SQL's job to provide a language to phrase the desired transaction to the database system with. It's the underlying database's job to handle concurrency.
Granted, in practice, the systems don't necessarily always honor this.
