'k, just had someone tell me that they believed that a pg_dump will lock a
table while the dump is happening ... my first thought/response was that
this would defeat the point of MVCC, no? And would make for a terrible
backup procedure on a very large database, since you'd just have made your
database useless for the duration ...
Can someone confirm/deny that the lock happens?
