i tried to lock table but with error
<class 'gluon.contrib.pymysql.err.InternalError'> (1099, u"Table 
'publication' was locked with a READ lock and can't be updated")

   db.executesql('LOCK TABLE publication READ;')
   result = db(db.publication.id==pubid).select()[0]
   newlist = result.photo_list
   newlist.remove(int(pid))
   db(db.publication.id==pubid).update(photo_list=newlist)
   db.executesql('UNLOCK TABLES;')

is it possible to use the same connection?
