Hello,

Are there any issues I should know about with this method?....  Will
other transactions be able to take place during this?... Any blocking
issues?..... I've never attempted anything like this and it seems sort-of
scary to me (at the very least, applying an awfully big hammer to the
problem).

Thanks for your help!
