No.
The standard Zope objects do not support something like that.

You may implement that for your own objects.
But it is quite difficult. You would need something like
my "SharedResource" product
(URL:http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/SharedResource.html).

As you want to serialize access to your database, you might
be interested in locking. Search the (searchable) list archive
for "lock" and "locking" to find more information about it.
For locking, too, my "SharedResource" can help you.

*HOWEVER*, I follow other posters: it is probably much easier
to switch to a different RDBMS.
