I'm thinking much lower than that. This isn't something I'm looking for in a database. I'm thinking about say something very simple like a btree or list, which is just a foil for thinking about locking methods.
I've been pointed at JSR-166, which is a Java implimentation of a bunch of modern locking code, and that has given me an idea of the state of the art.
Basically, I don't want to end up thinking hard and spending lots of time to come up with something which has been done already.
