[Fwd: Re: haven't forgotten about you...]

I didn't hear anything back on this. Does someone have a little time or
a pointer to a good resource that will clarify the use of the SELECT FOR
UPDATE syntax?

Are you going to do this?

I've been recently asked to write an article for Linux Journal about
"Deploying a Serious Application With PHP". I'd like to use postgres for
a "serious" application rather than MySQL, but I would like to see this
tutorial to understand the nuances first. (as I mentioned, I don't think
I understand the SELECT * FOR UPDATE syntax)
