Hi Carl,
I didn't mention to the syncdb of manage.py.
I'm talking about the problem that may happen when trying to access
the db.

Take a poll for exmaple. It may happen that 2 users vote at the same
time. A vote action is made in the three steps:
1. read the old counter
2. add the counter by 1
3. save the counter

I denote the two users as A and B, and A1 means the 1st step of A's
progress, and B2 means the 2nd step of B, etc.

I don't know how django deal with the requests of A and B. I suppose
they are independent. So I think the scenario may happen like this:
A1 B1 A2 A3 B2 B3
or
A1 A2 A3 B1 B2 B3
or others

If B1 happens after A3, there is no problem, and the counter is
increased by 2. But if B1 is before A3, then B will read the old value
again. And at last, the counter is only increased by 1, not 2.

That's my concern. So how Django handle with such case? Many thanks!
