Couldn't this be emulated by doing
begin;
declare foo cursor for select * from bar for update;
fetch foo into v_foo ;
update bar set abc='def' where ctid = v_foo.ctid;
fetch foo into v_foo ;
delete from bar where ctid = v_foo.ctid;
commit;
Or could a concurrent vacuum run lead to the wrong
rows being updated/deleted?
