Try this one from our current project. We are implementing a
hotel reservation system. We have tuples representing the
number of rooms not sold on a particular date for a particular
room type for a hotel. It is not at all uncommon for more than
one user to attempt to book the same room type at the same
hotel on the same day. Thus, concurrency control is needed.
