I forgot to add  that I need semaphores for INSERT and DELETE sql 
statement for MySQL. Maybe this is not needed after all. The rows 
that are concerned are using a column with an AUTO_INCREMENT 
attribute.

I don't need rollback (i.e. transaction). In its book on MySQL, Paul 
Dubois write: "MySQL automatically performs locking for single SQL 
statements to keep clients from interfering with each other." (Paul 
Dubois, MySQL, New Riders, 2000).
