Does ActiveRecord handle locks and updates?

Question

ActiveRecord doesn't seem to cater for record locking and database updates. How does one synchronise updates in disconnected multi-user environments such as websites and web services?

If you are talking about Castle ActiveRecord (for .Net), I would believe you can use all the concurrency models that NHibernate support. For example with a version column:
