Yes, but UPDATE/DELETE in SERIALIZABLE mode will cause
elog(ERROR, "Can't serialize access due to concurrent update");
in the case of the-same row update.
Oracle sets implicit savepoint before executing a statement.
In Postgres - entire transaction will be aborted...

I have some ideas about savepoints... may be in 6.6 or 6.7...
