If I do the following:

% monitor db
* begin \g
* retrieve portal myportal (whatever.all) \g

and at then go to another widow and enter

% monitor db
* delete whatever where whatever.somefield = somevalue \g

that the delete hangs until the I close the portal.   Is there a way to
have the delete return with an error or signal the initial process that
someone wants to do something with data that it is currently is using?
