Use a sequence instead; the system will handle the details.

You'll have to do this manually because you cannot use SQL locks. The reason is when you request the page the server gets the sql data and send it to the client and then disconnects so you no longer have a connection to sql and therefore cannot use sql locks.

You need to implement your own locking. Add a field to the table to indicate who is currently editing the record. Then in your own logic, when someone else tries to access the same record you handle it accordingly.

However, since this is a browser application, there is no perfect way to know for sure that the browser has been closed so you'll want to run some cleanup code to make sure locks don't stay around permanently in case someone closes the browser after locking a record.
