[erlang-questions] How to extend mensia lock to support conditionally lock?

[devdoer bird]

The example I give is not good.,but I just need hack the mnesia lock :(.

I want to lock part of the table and which part is controled by the record's
key's value range .Currently mnesia  only support record lock and table
lock.
